Women's LAX Blows Out Bridgewater

Box Score

(ASHLAND, Va.) - Randolph-Macon made short work of Bridgewater in ODAC women's lacrosse action on an unexpectedly damp Saturday afternoon. The Yellow Jackets jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first eight minutes and never looked back en route to the blowout. 

The Basics 

Score: Randolph-Macon 19, Bridgewater 3 

Venue: Day Field 

Records: R-MC 2-1, 1-1 ODAC; BC 1-2, 1-1 ODAC 

How It Happened: 

  • Bella Samper (Sr., Spring, Texas / Klein Oakand Natalie Webster (Sr., Midlothian, Va. / Midlothianopened up the game on a tear as they evenly split the opening 4-0 goals to take the Eagles by Storm. The first score came just 1:41 into the contest. 

  • Bridgewater was able to answer with the next two goals, but the Jackets went on a tear the rest of the way with the next 10 goals. 

  • Webster started the big run with 17:45 to go in the half. Just 27 seconds later, McKenzie Hynson (Jr., Pasadena, Md. / Northeast) scored her first. It was a sign of things to come as Kendall Griffis (Sr., Cherry Hill, N.J. / Bishop Eustacefound the back of the net 19 seconds later, and Webster scored her fourth 33 seconds after that. 

  • There was a slight break in the action, but Webster resumed the offense with 11:47 to go with her fifth goal of the half. 

  • Things were clearly going the Yellow Jackets' way as Samper closed the half with a goal as the buzzer sounded. 

  • Scoring was tempered in the second half from a running clock, but the Jackets were still able to find the back of the net five times from four different players. 

Inside The Numbers: 

  • Webster finished a spectacular day with a game-high five goals. Only Samper had more points who finished with four goals and two assists. Hynson joined her with four goals as well. 

  • Kayla Ross (So., Cockeyville, Md. / Dulaneywas flashy with the passing as she dished out three helpers and added two goals for five poitns. 

  • Hynson didn't just get the job done on the offensive end, she did so on defense and in the midfield as well. She picked up a game-high four ground balls and was stellar in the circle with eight draw controls. 

  • Bridgewater was hurt by 21 turnovers, 12 of which were forced by the Jackets. Hynson led in that category with three caused miscues as well. 

  • Caraline Cypher (Jr., Havre de Grace, Md. / Havre de Gracewasn't called upon too much as R-MC held a 36-9 advantage on shots, but when called upon she made three saves on the day. 

Up Next 

It's a quick turnaround for the Jackets as they are back in action again tomorrow. They'll entertain St. Mary's in a rescheduled contest with the opening draw set for 4 p.m.
