Box Score

WEST POINT, N.Y. – Jackie Brattan set a single-game program record with eight goals in the Army West Point women's lacrosse team's 18-11 win over Lafayette Saturday at Michie Stadium.

"My coaches have really been harping on shooting, so we've just been getting a ton of reps," Brattan said. "My teammates were also clearing through the lanes for me and feeding me when I'm open with awesome assists."

Brattan, a senior from Garden City, N.Y., moved into first place on Army's all-time goals list with 118 in her career. She also matched teammate Caroline Raymond's single-game record for points with nine.

Raymond had five with a pair of goals and three assists. Jolie Riedell contributed four points off the bench with a hat trick and an assist. In total, six members of the Black Knights had multi-point performances.

The Black Knights won the draw control battle 23-7. Raymond bested her single-game program record of 12 draw controls with 13.

Army opened the contest with seven goals in the first 8:20 of play. Brattan recorded a hat trick just under seven minutes into the contest, while Raymond, Cameron Manor, Madeline Lenkart and Jolie Riedell contributed the other goals.

Lafayette netted the next four goals of the contest to cut Army's lead to three goals. However, that was the closest the Leopards would come to staging a comeback. Army took an 11-6 lead into halftime and outscored the Leopards 7-5 in the second stanza.

Hannah Slomkowski picked up her third win of the season in net with three saves. Taylor Miller and Brooke Allen also both saw some time in net. Miller had two saves and Allen denied the only shot she saw.

The Black Knights have now won three consecutive games and boast a 3-0 record in Patriot League North play.

"We came off the Navy loss wanting these wins to secure a spot in the Patriot League tournament," Brattan said. "We still have games to go, but I think that this game gave us the confidence that we needed. It's a big win at home. There's always stuff we can work on, but I think offensively and defensively we're feeling pretty good."
