HUNTINGDON, Pa. --- The Moravian College women's lacrosse squad improved to 2-0 on the year with a 22-12 victory at Juniata College in Landmark Conference action Saturday afternoon.
How It Happened
- The Eagles scored the first goal of the match just 44 seconds into action before Moravian knotted the score at 1-1 on a goal from senior Danielle Sullivan that gave Sullivan 100 career points, the ninth player in school history to reach the milestone. Juniata moved back ahead before the Greyhounds took their first lead of the match, 3-2, on the first goal of the afternoon by senior midfielder Meaghan McMullan. The Eagles tied the contest at 3-3 before McMullan gave the Hounds the lead for good at 4-3 on an eight-meter shot with 20 minutes left in the opening half. McMullan's goal started a run of five straight goals for the Blue and Grey, and McMullan scored with just 32 seconds left in the half to head into the intermission with a 12-7 advantage
