COLLEGEVILLE, Pa. – Junior Dana DeSiato recorded her 100th career point in a career best performance in the Ursinus Women's Lacrosse team's 20-1 dominant win over Alvernia on Wednesday afternoon at Patterson Field in non-conference action.
 

 
The Bears improved to 4-2 overall while the Golden Wolves fell to 1-5.
 
 

Ursinus got to rolling early as junior Jaime Michaud scored on a woman-down opportunity at the 13:05-mark of the first quarter to get the early 1-0 lead. The Bears took advantage of a woman-up opportunity just 43 seconds later as first-year Devin Buggy one-timed a pass from senior Skyler Bogdan to make it 2-0. DeSiato added her first at the 8:24-mark and junior Whitney Hershey quickly made it 4-0 at the 6:04-mark with her first unassisted tally. Junior Ryann Buchner snuck a goal past the Golden Wolves goalkeeper to make it 5-0 under a minute later before DeSiato scored her second goal at the 4:50-mark to make it 6-0. DeSiato played helpers on the next two Ursinus goals to close out the first quarter as she found Hershey that made it 7-0 and Michaud with 1:07 left in the first quarter that made it 8-0. Buchner quickly extended the Bears lead to 9-0 less than two minutes into the second quarter and junior Brynn Bastian-Pastore scored her first at the 11:41-mark to get the Bears to double-digits. Sophomore Jermi Morrison caused a turnover and scored off it to make it 11-0 before the Bears scored their 12th and final goal of the first half in the final minute on another tally from Michaud that came from a failed Alvernia clear.
 
 

Michaud responded to the only Alvernia goal of the game at the 9:47-mark of the third quarter with her fourth of the game to bring the score back to 13-1 and Bogdan notched her first and only goal of the game at the 3:11-mark that made it 14-1. DeSiato then tallied back-to-back goals to reach the 100-career point mark early in the fourth quarter to make it a 16-1 game. Bogdan connected with Buggy again for the 17th goal and Hershey completed a hat trick at the 7:08-mark that made it 18-1. Junior Brooklyn Roe got in on the scoring with 2:47 left in regulation and first-year Gabrielle Eaise finished the game with her first collegiate goal in the final minute off a free position shot.
 
 

The Bears held a whopping 34-4 shot advantage for the game and a 27-4 advantage in shots on goal. Ursinus held a 17-12 edge in ground balls and caused 24 turnovers while going a perfect 13-for-13 in clears. The Bears also held a 15-6 advantage in draw controls as well. All three Bears goalies saw action as first-year Addi Guthrie-Pimpinella made three saves with a first half shutout. Sophomore Allison McAnally saw 23:11 of action and senior Susie Miller closed out the final 6:48. Addison Bolz made eight saves in 45 minutes for Alvernia.
