Playing its third game in four days, the Lancaster Bible women's lacrosse team was running on fumes and couldn't keep up with a quick Hood squad as the Blazers scored five goals in the first 10 minutes and wound up defeating the Chargers, 16-3 on Monday afternoon in Frederick, Md. The loss drops the Chargers to 0-5 this season, while the Blazers improve to 2-3. 

Hood opened the scoring just 29 seconds into the game as Taylor McGaughey took a pass from Anne Lessard and scored to give the Blazers a 1-0 lead. Lancaster Bible sophomore Alyssa Wesner tied the game just 1:31 later as she scored her 14th goal of the season. The game was tied for just over three minutes however as Shay Braithwaite scored at the 5:28 mark to give Hood a 2-1 lead. 

From there, the Blazers scored the final seven goals of the half and took a 9-1 lead into halftime. Hood outshot the Chargers, 23-9 in the opening half, but held just a 6-5 advantage in draw controls.

The second half featured much of the same as Hood scored the first four goals of the half and led 13-1 before Wesner and freshman Myranda Kemrer scored back-to-back goals 1:04 apart to cut the deficit to 13-3. Three late goals by Hood, including one with a second to play in the game, produced the final score of 16-3. 

For the game, Hood outshot the Chargers, 39-16 and held a 29-18 lead in ground balls.

Lancaster Bible returns to action on Friday when the Chargers host their first game of the season as they welcome Keuka to campus. The game is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m.
