Single-Game Program Record Three Man-Down Goals Highlights Lady Reds in 22-1 Domination of Elmhurst


KENOSHA, WIS.—The Carthage College women's lacrosse team's 2019 home finale on Wednesday pitted them against a depleted Elmhurst College squad that only had one bench player. The Lady Reds' depth was too much for Elmhurst in a 22-1 blowout that ended with 11:30 left in the second half due to an injured Bluejays goalie.
 
Jessie Gibson's eight goals was one shy of tying a single-game program record, set by Rachel Mussell's nine tallies in a 20-17 loss to North Central in the 2018 CCIW Tournament Semifinal on May 2, 2018. She added three assists for an 11-point game. The Lady Reds notched three man-down goals in the first half, enough for a single-game program record. The Lady Reds' 19 assists in the contest is also a single-game program record. 
 
Offense was just one fraction of Gibson's game as she notched four caused turnovers, three ground balls along with a game-high 12 shots and 11 shots on goal. Maddie Berni tallied a four-goal game while Nicole Bowman was on her heels with a trio of goals along with five assists for an eight-point game. Emily Lima notched a game-high six caused turnovers for the Lady Reds. 
 
The Lady Reds outshot Elmhurst 42-4. Sam Bednarz played the first 34:10 in net for Carthage and made three saves in the winning effort. Elmhurst goalies Marissa Vaca and Marie Corpuz combined for 10 saves.
 
Carthage improves to 6-8, 3-3 CCIW while Elmhust falls to 1-12, 0-6 CCIW. The Lady Reds will need a road victory over University of Chicago on Saturday, April 27 in order to keep their CCIW Tournament hopes alive.
 
Lady Reds 22, Elmhurst 1
 
Gibson's five first-half goals, along with man-down tallies from Elena Herman, Maddie Berni and Margaux Giacotto propelled Carthage to an 11-1 lead at intermission. The Lady Reds, who finished the game 18-of-19 in clears, didn't allow one Elmhurst shot in the second half that was cut short with 11:30 on the clock due to an injured Bluejays goalie. Carthage matched their total of 11 goals from the first half en route to a 22-1 rout.
 
The Lady Reds will face University of Chicago at the Stagg Field Complex in Chicago on Saturday, April 27 at 12:00 p.m.
