Golden Knights Celebrate Senior Day with 17-10 Triumph over Edinboro

Woodworth has huge day with 11 points

ERIE, Pa. – The Gannon women's lacrosse team celebrated Senior Day in impressive fashion with a 17-10 win over Edinboro on Saturday evening at McConnell Family Stadium. The win snapped a four-game losing streak as the Golden Knights picked up their first PSAC West win to move to 1-4 while improving to 3-7 overall.

Gannon has now won the last five meetings vs. local rival Edinboro (2-8, 0-5 PSAC West). The Golden Knights never trailed in the contest after scoring the first four goals and held a 15-5 lead at the half.

Prior to the match seven seniors were recognized. They included Kendra Delissio (Export, Pa./Franklin Regional), Macy Hepditch (Waterloo, Ontario/Resurrection Catholic), Alexandra Kehrig (Fairport, N.Y./Fairport), Skylar Parsons, Madyson Schwartz (Philadelphia, Pa./Franklin Towne Charter), Emma Uhrig (Waterloo, Ontario/Kitchener Waterloo Collegiate) and McKenna Woodworth (Horseheads, N.Y./Horseheads).

The group then went out led the Golden Knights to the victory. Woodworth finished with 11 total points as she scored three goals and picked up assists on eight others.  That gives her 162 career points.

Charlie Hunter (Boston, N.Y./Hamburg) and Hepditch also scored three goals with Hunter contributing an assist. Parsons and Schwartz finished with two goals and an assist each, while Alyssa Lerch (Coraopolis, Pa./Moon Area) scored a pair of goals.  

Schwartz, a graduate transfer from Chestnut Hill, reached 100 career points. She has 18 goals and four assists for 22 points as a Golden Knight after totaling 81 points at Chestnut Hill.

Gannon ended with a 35-20 advantage in shots and forced 27 turnovers while committing 17. The Golden Knights were also 14-of-15 on clears while holding the Fighting Scots to 13-of-22. Haleigh Manning (Milton, Ga./Cambridge) played all 60 minutes in goals and had six saves.

Woodworth took part in three of the first four goals, scoring the first goal and assisting on the third and fourth, as Gannon grabbed a 4-0 lead less than five minutes into the match. Parsons accounted for two of the goals.

Edinboro closed the match to 6-3 late in the first quarter before Schwartz scored off a feed from Woodworth for a 7-3 lead after one period. That seventh goal led to a stretch of eight out of the next nine goals as the lead expanded to 14-5 midway through the quarter.

The 15-5 halftime lead allowed head coach Jennifer Pawlowski to substitute liberally in the second half. Each team scored just once in the third quarter.

Gannon returns to action on Wednesday, April 10 playing at its other local rival, Mercyhurst.
