SALEM, Ore. --- The Bruins' unbeaten lacrosse season continues after Fox picked up a 20–7 victory over Willamette on the Bearcats' field.

How It Happened

The Bruins scored early and often, setting the tone from the jump with nine first-quarter scores, and officially started the running clock with two more quick strikes early in the second quarter. Carleigh DeLapp and Andrea Garcia-Milla each had three goals apiece by the end of the first quarter alone, and Lyla Roy joined the hat trick party with three scores by the end of the half.

After outscoring their hosts 14-2 in the first 30 minutes, Fox picked back up where they had left off and cruised to the win in the second half. Willamette kept pace in the second half as Fox outscored the Bearcats 6-5 in the closing periods, but the rally was well shy of the mark.

Top Performances

Roy and Garcia-Milla put in six each and Garcia-Milla also scored the game-winner while dishing out two assists - Roy was a perfect 6-6 on shots. Tharpe scored three times with two assists, DeLapp had a hat trick, and Ella Rand made three saves against five shots on-frame.

What It Means

Fox is 14-0 with three NWC matchups left and holds a 9-0 record against conference foes this year. With the win over Willamette, Fox has assured its regular-season championship after sweeping the second- and third-seeded teams in the conference this year.

Up Next

The Bruins travel to face the 'Whits' next weekend before returning to host a rescheduled game against Whitman on Apr. 29 in Newberg at 6:30 pm.
