CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. -- The Mount Aloysius Lacrosse team won their first official game in program history, on Wednesday, as the bested Wilson, 19-11.

In the first three seasons of the program, the first season was cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic and the second season was hindered by it, as well. Prior to the pandemic, Mount Aloysius did win a game, against Hilbert College. It did not go down as an official victory, however, due to the game being called too early, due to weather. Under those circumstances, Wednesday's win was the first official victory.

Leaders
- Maddie Waite (New Oxford, PA / New Oxford), the program's all-time leader in all offensive categories, led the Mounties with eight goals and three assists. She also had six ground balls and eight draw controls.
- Mallie Lanier (Bealeton, Va. / Liberty) and Jordan Mason (Hagerstown, MD / St. Maria Goretti) each added three goals, while Mason also added an assist.
- Goalkeeper, Zoe Swank (Romeoville, IL / Romeoville), finished the game with two saves, playing all 60 minutes in goal.

How It Happened
- Mount Aloysius got on the board first, scoring in the first two minutes. Clara Larios-Soto (Laurel, MD / Laurel) scored the first goal, coming on an assist from Waite, giving the Mounties a 1-0 lead. They continued to build on the lead, scoring the next three goals of the game. Mason scored her first and Courtney Vought (Somerset, PA / Somerset) scored a goal, both on free position shots. Waite then added her first goal of the day, making it 4-0.

- In the third quarter, both teams struggled to score, as Wilson scored the first marker, with just over three minutes remaining. Lanier added a goal just 20 seconds later, before Hanna Geissler (Irwin, Pa. / Norwin) finished the period with a goal, giving the Mounties a strong 14-6 lead.
