Box Score

WEST CHESTER - Maggie Stella had three goals, an assist and seven draw controls, leading No. 13-ranked West Chester to a 14-7 win over No. 21 East Stroudsburg University in PSAC women's lacrosse on Wednesday.

Sophomore midfielder Hana Cicerelle had four goals for ESU (4-2, 3-1), which ended a 15-game winning streak vs. PSAC schools, shattering the previous school record of four straight PSAC wins.

ESU's last PSAC loss was more than a year ago - March 26, 2017, a 12-10 setback at Slippery Rock - before winning 12 straight last year to claim the first PSAC championship in school history, and the first three this spring.

West Chester (8-0, 3-0) scored five straight goals to pull away from a 4-4 tie midway through the first half.

Senior midfielder Chessie Rahmer, last week's PSAC Athlete of the Week, opened the scoring and Cicerelle gave ESU a 2-1 lead 3:58 into the game.

After three straight goals for WCU, Cicerelle and freshman midfielder Krista Mitarotonda scored to tie it at 4-4 at the 14:59 mark of the first half.

The Golden Rams held ESU scoreless for almost 27 minutes from that point, taking a 5-4 lead into halftime and scoring the first four goals of the second half.

The Warriors used a 3-1 stretch - the second goal of the game for Mitarotonda, and the third and fourth for Cicerelle - to cut the margin to 10-7 with 10:14 left, but West Chester scored four straight to end the game.

Eight players scored goals for West Chester, which had advantages of 34-24 in shots and 13-10 in draw controls. WCU also led 23-18 in turnovers, 28-27 in ground balls and 10-6 in caused turnovers.

Sophomore goalkeeper Tatyana Petteway started and had 10 saves for ESU while allowing 13 goals. Sophomore Michelle Dyck had two saves and allowed one goal in relief.

Julianne Clemens had eight saves in relief for West Chester, surrendering just three goals in the final 45 minutes.

ESU's 17-12 win vs. West Chester last year was just its third in school history, with WCU holding a 68-3 all-time advantage. Other ESU wins came in 2000 and 2003.

The Warriors travel to Slippery Rock for conference action on Saturday at 2 p.m.
