WINCHESTER, Va. - No. 17 Mary Washington used a fast start Wednesday afternoon to key a 14-8 non-league women's lacrosse victory over Shenandoah.

The Eagles (1-3) scored six of the game's initial eight goals on their way to the win over SU (1-4).

IN BRIEF

Back-to-back goals from Alyson Bittinger and Emily Lerch gave the Hornets an early lead, but UMW quickly responded.

The Eagles scored five unanswered from the 22:42 to 14:54 marks to take that 6-2 advantage.

Bittinger, who finished with four goals, ended the run with an unassisted goal at 13:17. This would also start a run in which the Carroll County, Maryland native scored three of the game's next four goals.

Her last goal, off of an Emma Stiffler assist, made it 7-5 in favor of the visitors with 5:07 remaining in the first.

Mary Washington sandwiched a 7-1 run around halftime to snuff out the Shenandoah rally. An Emily Onorato goal (off a Bittinger assist) was the only SU goal during this stretch.

Two Stiffler goals, at 2:26 and 1:02, closed the book on the day's scoring.

UMW had a 31-23 advantage in shots and scooped up 17 of the game's 32 groundballs.

The Eagles also won 15 of the 24 draws.

Hornets goalkeeper Ashley MacFarlane made nine saves.

NOTABLE

Mary Washington's head coach is Maddie Taghon, who was an assistant coach at Shenandoah from 2015 through 2018. This is her first year as the Eagles head coach and her primary assistant is Becky Bove '17, a four-year player for Shenandoah.
