ST. PAUL, MINN.  – Paige Murphy fired in 10 goals, tied for the second most in program history, as the No. 6 Maryville women's lacrosse team cruised to a 19-1 victory at Concordia St. Paul. The 10 goals tie the output by Helen Bae against Rockhurst, April 21, 2023. The Saints tallied the first 11 goals of the game and gave up just the one goal to CSP. The single goal allowed is tied for the fewest surrendered in a game, tied with the one goal allowed to Findlay March 2, 2025, and to Tiffin Feb. 17, 2023.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
Murphy scored just 17 seconds into the game, tied for the second-quickest goal to start a game in program history. Kylie Pettus doubled Maryville's lead before Murphy struck again. Helen Bae notched her first score of the contest and Murphy completed her hat trick by the end of the first quarter.
 
Following a free-position score from Murphy, Minnesota-native Mady Richert notched her first of the day to make it 7-0. Bae and Murphy alternated scoring the next four goals as the Saints built an 11-0 lead. The Golden Bears finally got on the scoreboard with a score in the waning seconds before halftime as Maryville took an 11-1 margin into the break.
 
Murphy opened the scoring in the third before Natalie Tomljenovic found the back of the net. Emmery Clark notched her first with Devyn Dimovitz following up with a goal. Murphy ended the frame with a goal, started the final quarter with her ninth goal of the game and then tacked on her 10th of the game.
