TEMPE, Ariz. – Sun Devil Lacrosse picked up their third straight victory, defeating UC Davis 19-14 at Sun Devil Soccer/Lacrosse Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Coming off the a 2-2 road trip that ended with the biggest win in program history over No. 20 USC, Arizona State (5-2) showed no signs of a letdown. Head Coach Tim McCormack's team took the lead early in the first half and never looked back, leading the 58 of the 60 minutes.
"We had a great team effort today," Coach McComrack remarked. "We competed hard for 60 minutes and played well with the lead."
The Sun Devils pick up their third consecutive win and move to 3-0 at home, outscoring opponents by a total score of 64-30 at Sun Devil Soccer/Lacrosse Stadium. ASU received contributions from throughout the roster, as eight different players scored a goal, 12 collected a ground ball, and eight caused a turnover.
"We definitely like to see scoring and strong defense from multiple players, "Having seven threats to score and options on the back end is definitely beneficial for us."
Maddy Hunter paced the offense in scoring with five points, while Katie Brodsky, Emily Munro, Kerri Clayton, and Emily Glagolev each added four points. Arizona State's patented pressure defense created problems for the Aggies, as they committed 24 turnovers. Berkeley Bonneau reached double-digit saves once again in another active afternoon.
TURNING POINT
The Maroon & Gold went on three separate 3-0 runs, the most significant of which happened midway through the first half. Already in front 6-4, Arizona State went on a 4-0 run, getting goals from four different individuals to extend the lead to six. The Aggies would pull as close as three in the second half, but the Sun Devils finished strong by scoring the final two goals of the game.
