ELIMIRA, N.Y. – Getting off to a blistering start with two goals in the first 54 seconds and five in the first 3:30, the Lycoming College women's lacrosse team never looked back in a 23-2 rout of Elmira College on Saturday afternoon, March 17, at Ernie Davis Field in a non-conference match.
 
In the first half, the Warriors (3-2 overall) scored 14 goals, had 25 shots and tallied 13 scores before Elmira took a shot.
 
Junior Kelly McGinniss (Randolph, N.J./Randolph) and sophomore Hailey Kimble (Corning, N.Y./Corning-Painted Post) each notched hat tricks before halftime as McGinniss finished with five goals, eight draw controls and three forced turnovers and Kimble tallied four goals and three assists.

Junior Thamina Peti (York, Pa./West York Area) and sophomore Alexis Tchou (Mt. Airy, Md./Urbana) each scored two goals, as nine Warriors scored and six notched at least two goals.
 
The Warriors' first two goals in the opening minute came off draw controls, the first one by McGinniss that led to Kimble's first goal and then a draw control by Peti allowed Lazarich to get on the board. McGinniss notched her first goal a minute later and the Warriors led 3-0. Another goal from McGinniss and DiJoseph's first score had Lycoming up 5-0 in the first 3:28 of action.
 
DiJoseph added another goal a little more than two minutes later before the Warriors put on another scoring onslaught, tallying five more goals in a 4:13 span. Senior Caroline Mitchell (Berwyn, Pa./Conestoga) and Peti each scored their first goals of the game and 11 seconds after Peti scored, Kimble added another and another with 14:42 remaining in the opening half to make it 10-0. McGinniss, sophomore Natalie Schroeder (Edgewater, Md./Annapolis), Lazarich and freshman Taylor Herberger (Corning, N.Y./Corning-Painted Post) finished off the first-half scoring.
