SEWANEE, Tenn. (Mar. 17, 2019) - Looking to rebound from their first loss of the season on Friday, the North Central College women's lacrosse team did just that, controlling their game against Berry College from the very beginning on Sunday, taking the game by a 19-1 final.

The Cardinals consistently controlled the ball and kept the Vikings (1-9) offense at bay, only allowing six shots the entire game. North Central put 10 shots in the back of the net in the first half, with all of them coming before Berry netting a goal. Madeline McHugh and Grace Steiner led the Cardinals in the first half with two goals and one assist each. Camille Seghesio got the start in net for the Cardinals, only allowing one goal with 1:26 left in the first half.

Steiner added two more goals to her total in the second half to bring her game-leading total to four. Elizabeth Wagner played in goal for North Central for the whole second half, playing a flawless 30 minutes, saving all three shots that went her way.
