WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Catholic women's lacrosse team hosted Goucher College for another Landmark Conference match up on Wednesday evening. With four goals apiece, Henley Bredemann and Lindsay Sawyer guided the Cardinals to a 20-3 victory over the Gophers.

Bredemann opened the scoring on Carlini Field in the third minute of play, netting her first goal of the game off an assist from Maggie Traynor. Sawyer followed her lead, beginning her scoring run with a goal of her own, unassisted. Just 10 seconds later, Maddie Rinker scored the Cardinals' third goal off a feed from Traynor, going up 3-0 within the first five minutes of game action.

The scoring continued in the first quarter with three new Cardinals finding the back of the net while the defense held the Gophers to a scoreless quarter. Izzy Fiore began her search for a hat trick, scoring two goals in the last six minutes of the quarter. Maddie McDevitt also contributed a goal, while Brigid Brown notched the first goal of her sophomore season to close out the quarter up 7-0.

The Cardinal defense continued to hold strong entering the second quarter, while the offense continued to grow their lead over Goucher. Sawyer secured her hat trick early in the quarter, scoring three straight goals, putting Catholic up double figures over their Landmark opponent. Bredemann and Annie Galarza each contributed a goal in quarter two. 

With less than five minutes left in the half, Goucher was able to sneak two goals in, first from Tatiana Emeruwa, then from Wrenn Harney. Catholic maintained their lead, up 12-2 as they entered the break.

Fiore and Bredemann showcased some dynamic duo action early in the second half, both securing their hat tricks. Fiore scored less than a minute into the second half, assisted by Bredemann, followed by a goal from Bredemann a few minutes later, assisted by Fiore. 

Later in the third, Carly Mathieu logged her first career goal, unassisted, to put Catholic up 13 over the Gophers. Ellie Verrill followed, scoring with less than five minutes remaining in quarter three. Goucher was able to find the back of the net one more time, with Amaya Locke scoring their third goal of the game.

Catholic held the Gophers to a scoreless fourth quarter, and extended their lead by four more goals. Tori Wilsey netted a goal, scoring off a feed from Traynor. Bredemann added her fourth of the game while Galarza notched her second, assisted by Katie Raymond. With three minutes left of game action, Raymond picked up her first career goal, closing out the game up 20-3 over Goucher.

13 Cardinals scored during the game, eight of which had more than one goal. Bredemann led the charge with seven total points, scoring four goals and picking up three assists. Fiore, Traynor, and Sawyer followed with four points each. Sawyer finished with four goals, Traynor with four assists, and Fiore with a hat trick and an assist.

McDevitt led the team with seven draw controls, and logged two points on the day with a goal and an assist. Wilsey was consistent across the board, recording two draw controls, caused turnovers, and ground balls, while also scoring a goal.

Four goalies saw game action against the Gophers, but it was Alexandra Ragano who secured the win to improve her record to 4-4. Jamie Handwerger notched three saves during her 15 minutes of play.
