Box Score

St. Mary's City, Md. – Senior captain Nora Fallon-Oben (Silver Spring, Md./St. John's College [D.C.]) matched two school single-game records Tuesday afternoon with eight goals and 10 points in powering St. Mary's College of Maryland to a convincing 19-9 victory over Virginia Wesleyan College in non-conference women's lacrosse action.

Fallon-Oben equaled the single-game record for most points in a game with 10 as she tied the mark with former head coach Carol (Schmoeller) Hatton '04 (set it three times) and Karli Libertini '05 while her eight goals matched Schmoeller's mark set back on March 29, 2003 versus Lynchburg College.

Midfielders Aubrey Mirkin (Ashton, Md./Sherwood) and Lauriann Parker (Woodbine, Md./Glenelg) also tallied multiple-goal efforts for St. Mary's (2-6) as each found the back of the net three times.  The Fallon-Oben, Mirkin, and Parker trio accounted for nearly three-quarters of the Seahawks' 19 goals.

St. Mary's scored in groups of three in the first half, including closing out the half with four goals in a 2:30-minute span as Fallon-Oben notched the final three goals in nearly two minutes.  The Seahawks headed into intermission with a 13-4 advantage.

Senior attacker Laura Norris (Hollywood, Md./Leonardtown) paced Virginia Wesleyan (3-6) with three goals and two assists while junior Tara Harding (Waterford, N.Y./Clifton Park Shenendehowa) and sophomores Natalie Belva (Colorado Springs, Colo./Liberty) and Courtney Williams (Leonardtown, Md./Leonardtown) all scored twice.

Williams netted the first goal of the second half before St. Mary's rattled off four straight.  Harding then sparked a 3-0 Marlin run with two goals before Fallon-Oben tallied two of the final three goals of the game.

St. Mary's outshot the visitors by a 35 to 18 margin while doubling up the Marlins in draw controls, 20 to 10, as Mirkin and Parker led the way with four draw controls apiece.  The Seahawks also edged VWC in ground balls as Fallon-Oben scooped up a game-high five loose balls.

The Seahawk goalkeeping staff combined for seven stops with junior Jamie Roberts (Rockville, Md./Barrie) picking up the start and making five saves in the first half.

Sophomores Brittany MacKnew (Abingdon, Md./Bel Air) and Michelle Mace (Dumfries, Va./Woodbridge Forest Park) split equal time in goal and joined together for seven saves.

The Seahawks hope to knock off No. 1 Salisbury University on Sunday, March 28 when the Sea Gulls come to Seahawk Stadium for a Capital Athletic Conference contest at 2:00 pm for the 2nd Annual Breast Cancer Awareness Game (Pink Out Day).
