KENOSHA, Wis. - Playing their third match in three days, the Puget Sound Loggers picked up a 17-8 win over the Carthage Lady Reds in a NCAA Division III women's lacrosse match on Saturday morning in Kenosha, Wis.

After exchanging goals to open the match, the Loggers used three straight goals by freshman Julia Schulman (Durham, N.C./Durham Academy) and five straight Puget Sound goals overall to take a 6-1 lead midway through the opening period.  The Loggers used two more goals by Schulman to outscore Carthage 5-3 over the remaining 10 minutes of the first half as Puget Sound took an 11-4 lead into halftime.

In the second half, Carthage scored two straight to open the period but the Loggers employed a more defensive strategy in the second period to hold off the Lady Reds.  Freshman Jessica McDonald (Portland, Ore./Lincoln) scored twice in the final 30 minutes to help the Loggers collect the 17-8 victory as they improved to 8-2 on the season.

The Loggers were led by six goals from Schulman.  Junior Sofia Lama (Laguna Niguel, Calif./Torrey Pines) added three goals, as did McDonald.  Katie Schlesinger (Lake Oswego, Ore./Lakeridge) and Anna Gunderson (Bloomington, Minn./John F. Kennedy) each added two goals while Kristine Morris (Tiburon, Calif./University) scored once.  Junior keeper Ana Calciano (Farmington, Conn./Miss Porter's School) made 15 saves to collect the win.

Carthage, playing their first season of varsity lacrosse in 2010, were led by two goals each from Natalie Ceis and Olivia Nino.  Kate Flanagan, Hannah Sopeth, Desirae Murphy and Stephanie Cain each added one goal in the losing effort.  Jennifer John made 15 saves in net, allowing the 17 Logger goals.

Puget Sound returns to Tacoma on Apr. 11 for their next match, play host to Pomona-Pitzer in a match set for 1:00 p.m. at Baker Stadium in Tacoma, Wash.
