April 12, 2001

Washington, D.C. - Loyola junior Stacey Morlang tallied four goals and one assist as the Greyhounds defeated American, 16-9, today in a Colonial Athletic Association women's lacrosse game at AU's Reeves Field.

After Loyola (11-1, 6-0 CAA) took an early 2-0 lead, the two teams exchanged goals and the Greyhounds held a 3-2 edge with 20:30 remaining in the first half. Loyola then scored six straight goals and would take an 11-4 at the half.

The Greyhounds continued their strong play as the second half began and tallied three goals in the first five minutes of the half to secure the win. American (5-7, 1-5 CAA), however, played tough and rallied to cut into the Loyola lead.

Bridget McGeady (Sr., A, Severna Park, MD/Archbishop Spalding) and Ashley Flanigan (Sr., M, Glastonbury, CT/Glastonbury) each recorded three goals and one assist for AU in the loss.

In goal, Vicki Miller (Sr., Woodlyn, PA/Ridley) and Laura Randisi (Fr., Towson, MD/Notre Dame Prep), who today made her collegiate debut, combined for 16 saves for AU. Megan Santacroce and Lauren Peck each added three goals and one assist for Loyola.

American next faces Monmouth on Tue., Apr. 17 at 2:00 p.m. at Reeves Field while Loyola prepares for the CAA Tournament on April 20-21 in Richmond, Va.
