The No. 9 Lindenwood women’s lacrosse team lived up to its preseason billing in its season opener. The Lady Lions jumped out to a 13-3 halftime lead over Tennessee Wesleyan and finished with a 17-3 victory.

Lacey Vatland led the offensive assault with seven goals, and Laura Boland and Justiene Groothuis also each had a hat trick with three goals. Kathryn St. George netted a pair of goals and Kristen Papadakos and Ashley Bruce each scored once. Groothuis led the squad with three assists.

Defensively, three players guarded the goal. Christina Corcoran and Caitlin Erickson each had three saves and Christie Mearns stopped one shot.

Lindenwood will face a step up in competition next weekend when it competes in the Santa Barbara Shootout.
