LEWISTON, Maine -- Twelve different Bobcats tallied goals and the Bates women's lacrosse team rolled to a 22-2 win over Husson University Tuesday evening at Garcelon Field.

With the score tied at one, first-year Laci Raveis (Fairfield, Conn.) earned a free position opportunity and converted it for the go-ahead tally with 10:46 left in the first quarter. The Bobcats (4-4) never looked back, taking full command of the game over the Eagles (1-5) by scoring 17 unanswered goals.

Bates led 13-1 after the first quarter and 17-1 at halftime. 

Senior Hanna Matthews (Westwood, Mass.), sophomore Lauren Wong (Walpole, Mass.), first-year Lucy Taylor (Falmouth, Maine), and sophomore Frankie Franz (Chatham, N.J.) scored three goals apiece to pace the Bobcats. Taylor also dished out two assists to lead all players with five points. First-year Hollis Hale (Lake Oswego, Ore.) dished out a game-high three assists and junior Trish Balser (Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.) recorded a team-high three ground balls. First-year Grace Cassin (Glen Rock, N.J.) had a solid game with two goals, one assist, two ground balls, and four draw controls. 

The Bobcats played "make it take it" all game, winning 22 of 26 draw controls in the contest. Sophomore Grace Yonchak (Needham, Mass.) led the way with a game-high five draw controls.

Bates tallied 40 shots while holding the Eagles to five shots. The Bobcats used three goalies, with sophomore Raegan White (Duxbury, Mass.) earning the win by playing the first 30 minutes, recording one save along the way.
