Quincy Recap
The Maryville women's lacrosse team set a program record for fewest goals allowed in a 14-4 romp at Quincy Friday evening. The Saints broke their previous total of five goals surrendered at West Virginia Wesleyan in the last game of the 2020 season. Jessie Hynes, who scored at least three goals for the fourth straight game, and Skyler Jolie both registered hat tricks to pace the offense. Tabatha Saake came up with seven saves on the record setting defensive night to post the victory.
 
What Happened
Hynes scored just over two minutes into the game to give the Saints an advantage they would never surrender. Maryville won the ensuing draw control, and Julia Banfield fired in her first goal. The Saints again won the next draw with Jolie firing in a score for a 3-0 lead less than five minutes into the contest. She made it consecutive scores before Claire Martin found the back of the net for a 5-0 advantage. Quincy finally scored more than 10 minutes in but Katie Von Mecklenburg answered for the Saints. Maryville tacked on four more tallies to take a 10-2 lead at halftime.
 
The defenses clamped down on the offensive attacks as only one goal was scored in the first 15 minutes after intermission. After a QU goal, Hynes completed her hat trick with 14 minutes left to play. Jolie recorded her hat trick as the Saints had two more late scores to cruise to the victory. Saake posted a .636 save percentage to pick up her first victory of the season.
