SUNY Old Westbury women's lacrosse jumped ahead early and never looked
back in their 17-12 season-opening road victory over the Bard Raptors
(0-1) Tuesday evening from Tenney Stadium. It was the second-consecutive
season-opening win for the Panthers who began their fourth season
overall.
Natasha Treuman had a collegiate debut for the record books, with a program-record 10 goals on 11 shots, to go with a program-best 11 points. She also powered the Panthers with seven draw controls, five ground balls, four caused turnovers and one assist. Outside of Treuman, Danielle Weir and Taylor Guarneri each produced two goals, while Weir added seven ground balls. Courtney Gallagher totaled four caused turnovers, three draw controls, one goal and one assist in addition to scooping up three ground balls to become the first Panther with 100 career ground balls.
Ashley Gugliuzzo (1-0) played all 60 minutes and had eight saves to earn Old Westbury's win. Kaylynn Tran (0-1) stopped six shots in a complete-game effort to take the loss with 17 goals against her.
Sara Bey won the opening draw before netting the game's first goal to give Old Westbury a 1-0 lead just 15 seconds into play. Treuman then found Weir at 27:52 to double the Panthers' advantage. Casey Witte answered for Bard at 26:38 to slice the deficit in half. Guarneri answered with back-to-back goals to put Old Westbury ahead, 4-1. With 13:34 remaining, Treuman rattled the cage for her first goal, and closed out the half by scoring Old Westbury's final three goals for the 10-5 lead at intermission.
Weir opened up Old Westbury's second-half scoring with a goal 8:01 into the action. LaChaye Allen found Treuman for her third goal of the second half at 12:28 to extend Old Westbury's lead to a game-high 14-6. Marion Adams' goal at 11:51 ignited a 6-1 Raptor run to make it a three-score game (15-12) with 3:30 left. Treuman tallied the Panthers' final six goals, including the game-winner at 20:35 with a free-position score.
In the end, Old Westbury held the advantage in shots (32-25), shots on goal (23-20) and ground balls (35-33).
