Xavier fell to Arizona State 21-10 in the season opener
TEMPE, Ariz. - Xavier women's lacrosse fell to Arizona State 21-10 in the 2024 season opener on Friday night.
The Musketeers open the 2024 season at 0-1 (0-0 BIG EAST) and the Sun Devils advance to 1-0 (0-0 Pac-12).
Â
• A pair of Musketeers, Lola Mancuso and Kirra Crowley, led the scoring efforts for Xavier, posting a hat trick each. Mancuso, the sophomore attacker, reached her seventh career with the feat and Crowley, the freshman midfielder, had a record debut with the three goals.
• Among Mancuso and Crowley in the scoring efforts were redshirt-senior attacker Jordan Miller with two goals and freshman midfielder Megan Droney with her first career goal.
• Katherine Prentice, the freshman midfielder, went 1-1 on free position goals, tallying her first career goal.
• Along with her hat trick, Mancuso also led Xavier in shooting attempts with five shots on goal and seven total shots.
• Mancuso led efforts at the draw with four controls and was followed by freshman midfielder Machaela Henry and sophomore midfielder Kiera Armitage with three apiece. Â
• Freshman defender Colby Wasson tallied the team-high of three ground balls in her Xavier debut against Arizona State.
• Two Musketeers caused turnovers against the Sun Devils - sophomore goalkeeper Jada Brandon and freshman midfielder Lily Hayes.
• In the net, Brandon and freshman goalkeeper Teegan Lannon, split the game, tallying 12 saves as a whole. Brandon saw eight and Lannon saw four in her Xavier debut.
Â
• The Musketeers totaled 10 goals, 13 shots on goal, 14 draw controls, 12 saves, nine ground balls, and two caused turnovers.
Â
"We had a strong showing in our debut game against a great opponent. Unfortunately, we were man-down for a significant portion of the game and we had difficulty limiting their goals during those minutes. Our team played together from first whistle to last and I am really looking forward to seeing where this season takes us as a group. There's a whole lot of talent but even more heart."Â
