St. Mary's City, Md. - Senior midfielder
Lauren Carrier (Crownsville, Md./Old Mill) matched
her season-high with six goals as the 19th-ranked St. Mary's
College of Maryland women's lacrosse team finished the Capital
Athletic Conference regular-season with a 16-9 victory over
Stevenson University on a wet Saturday afternoon.

(Cockeysville, Md./Park) also had a strong performance for St.
Mary's (11-4, 6-1 CAC) as Zerhusen tallied four
goals and five points, while senior attacker Emily
Norris (Timonium, Md./Dulaney) added two goals and a

Carrier broke open a 3-3 draw with three
consecutive goals in the final 4:33 of the first half, while
Zerhusen scored her second of the game with six
seconds before halftime to give the Seahawks a 7-3 lead at

2006 in a loss to Mary Washington.
St. Mary's commenced the second stanza with a 6-1 run to claim a
13-4 advantage with 7:16 remaining in the game. Back-to-back
goals by Stevenson's sophomore attacker Lisa Baker
(Westminster, Md./Westminster) and junior midfielder Lauren
Zegowitz (Gaithersburg, Md./Damascus) in 52 seconds closed
the gap to 13-6 with 4:00 remaining. However, three goals in
the row by the Seahawks in a one-minute span sealed the 16-9
victory.
Baker finished as the Mustangs' (7-6, 3-3 CAC)
scoring leader with two goals and an assist, while
Zegowitz and junior midfielder Brittany
Connelly (Catonsville, MD./Catonsville) each contributed
two goals.
The Seahawks took 31 shots to Stevenson's 25, while the Mustangs
edged St. Mary's 17-14 in ground balls. The home team
dominated draw controls with a 19-8 advantage as
Zerhusen grabbed a season- and game-high six.
Sophomore Colleen Simpson (Arnold,
Md./Broadneck) tallied nine saves in the victory, while freshman
Jenny Schroeder (Severna Park, Md./Seton Keough)
and sophomore Devan Malone (Highland, Md./River
Hill) combined for nine stops for the Mustangs.
St. Mary's will wrap up its three-game homestand with Senior Day
on Wednesday, April 15 as the Seahawks welcome Christopher Newport
University to Seahawk Stadium at 4:00.
