MONTREAT, N.C. (March 27, 2019) – The Truett McConnell University women's lacrosse team picked up their first win and first Appalachian Athletic Conference win of the season at Montreat College on Wednesday afternoon (8-5).

PLAY-BY-PLAY

Senior Mckenzie Noggle found the back of the net first for the Lady Bears in the first two minutes of the game on a free position shot (1-0). Just 38 seconds later, freshman Hope Foster forced a turnover and scored TMU's second goal (2-0). Montreat scored themselves with 15 minutes to go in the first half (2-1) but the Lady Bears pushed the lead. After a successful clear by TMU, freshman Alexis Carter netted her first goal of the season (3-1). To follow, sophomore Cameron Lee scored again for the Lady Bears (4-1) and the Cavaliers were only held to one more goal the rest of the half (4-2).

Montreat scored first in the second half (4-3) but Carter responded with another TMU goal after a successful clear (5-3). Holly Foster earned a ground ball and found the back of the net shortly after with 16:18 to go in the game (6-3). Holly was credited the assist for Hope's second goal (7-3) and Lee scored off a position shot to round out TMU's goals on the day (8-3). Montreat scored two more goals the rest of the way but it proved not enough as the Lady Bears clinched their first victory of the season on the road (8-5).

COACH'S COMMENTS

"Congrats to the ladies for working hard towards our goal today," Head Coach Channing Hoyt said. "Thankful for their intensity and focus. The game was honestly pretty sloppy with turnovers and missed ground balls. Our patience on the offensive end helped us keep our composure while our defensive pressure got us the ball back.

We have learned a lot about our team the last few games and with experience we can play for more victories."

LEADERS

Lee and Hope F. each tallied six shots apiece while Noggle shot four.

Christian Roberts earned four saves on the day.
