Whiteman's four goals lead LaxCards to win
Reese Whiteman tallied four goals and seven Cards scored in the Tuesday afternoon win over Liberty at the L.L.S. Tuesday afternoon.
The step out of conference play was beneficial for Scott Teeter's squad, and the Cards improved to 6-7 on the season with the win.
The Cards jumped out to a 2-0 lead to start the contest, Whiteman getting her first goal about four minutes into the match and Izzy Seikel adding the second score about a minutes later. After a Flames score, Rian Adkins found the back of the net and her goal gave the Cards a 3-1 lead that held through the first quarter.
The Cards went up 5-2 in the second after goals from Whiteman and Erin Nicholson. Liberty went on a a rally, though, and scored the final two goals of the second quarter to trail by just one at the half...5-4.
After the break, the Cards scored just 86 seconds into third quarter play, but Liberty countered a couple of minutes later. to make it 6-5 Cards. Ryan McMahon's goal gave UofL a 7-5 lead, but the Liberty squad went on a three-goal barrage to grab a 8-7 lead over the Cards. Whiteman went to work, however, and tallied back-to-back goals to push Louisville back ahead 9-8. Liberty added a goal as the quarter ended i and this one was 9-9 going into the final quarter.
Both team scored four minutes into the fourth quarter to keep the affair deadlocked at 10-10. It turned out to be Liberty's last score. With almost nine minutes gone the final frame, Izzy Seikel produced the game winner...and Lauren Figas added an insurance goal 90 seconds later for the Cards to end the scoring in the contest.
A hard fought 12-10 win for UofL. Scott Teeter on the contest:
"I thought today was a really intense, tough lacrosse game. I though both teams played very physical....with a lot of aggression and a lot of pressure. You didn't have much time to move or think out there, and that led to turnovers. We made some adjustments at halftime and put some things together. Starting with the draw controls in the second half, we fixed our clearing game a little bit and that led to more offensive possessions which led to more shots. We mad enough plays to win the game today."
The Cards return to conference play for their next one, with a contest at Virginia on Saturday.
