SPOKANE, Wash. --- George Fox lacrosse keeps its undefeated streak alive with another Northwest Conference win at Whitworth, picking up another series sweep in the process with a 21-3 final.

How It Happened

The Bruins scored eight straight to start the game and Carleigh DeLapp notched a hat trick with three goals in the opening ten minutes of game action. DeLapp scored what would count as the game-winner less than five minutes into the game and Fox cruised from there to the finish. 

By halftime, Fox led, 13-2, and added three more in the third quarter to keep the running clock on with a 16-3 lead. The Bruins did not allow Whitworth to score in the last quarter and ran away with the 21-3 win after running the clock for the final 40 minutes of regulation.

Defensively, the Bruins' keepers made nine saves and its defense forced 15 turnovers to help their team's cause.

Top Performances

DeLapp ended with 10 points - the most in a single game for any conference player this year, and a new career best to boot - after scoring seven times and dishing out three assists. Marena Tharpe scored five goals, Kyra Barnes added three, Lyla Roy scored three and dished out three assists, and Andrea Garcia-Milla tallied two assists and a goal. Ella Rand made five saves and earned her 15th win of the year.

What It Means

Fox is mathematically assured its sixth straight NWC title with a 10-0 NWC record and a 15-0 overall record this season, while the Pirates drop to 5-10 overall and are 3-8 against conference opponents.

Up Next

Fox will try to clinch its fifth straight undefeated conference title with a home-and-away series against Whitman still on the books for Sunday, Apr. 24, at the Blues' field and Friday, Apr. 29 in Newberg.
