Danielle Lopez Nets 100th Goal In 18-6 Mighty Mac Win

Box Score

ROSEMONT, Pa.- Junior Danielle Lopez scored the 100th goal of her Immaculata career on Thursday afternoon to help lift Immaculata (5-6, 2-2 CSAC) to an 18-6 victory over Rosemont (3-5, 1-2 CSAC).  Sophomores Shannon Neill and Allison Jakavick (two assists) each scored four goals to lead the Immaculata attack which registered 41 shots in their second straight victory.
 
Lopez entered the game with 98 goals and scored two to become the fifth Mighty Mac in program history to reach the 100-goal plateau, joining teammate Katie Cook.  Lopez also led the Mighty Macs with nine draw controls.
 
Sophomore Kelly Lapp had her second straight strong game with three goals, four assists, eight groundballs, and seven caused turnovers, which are tied for the second most in a single game in program history.  She has seven goals and eight assists in her last two games.
 
Junior Alyssa Petito had one goal and five assists, which ties a school record for most assists in a game, equaling her own record from last season against Emerson (3/2/2013).
 
Senior Mandy Grahn added three goals and freshman Kirsten Jensen also had one goal and one assist.
 
Sophomore Lucy Hud (1-0) made her first career start in goal and made two saves in the win.
 
Immaculata fired out of the gates for a second straight game and scored the first five goals in the opening 5:18 of the game.  Jakavick scored two, while Neill, Lapp, and Lopez each tallied one goal to fuel the run.  Both teams were then kept scoreless for over 16 minutes before Rosemont got on the board.
 
Neill and Grahn would then score one goal apiece to make it 7-1 going into halftime.
 
In the second half, the Mighty Macs scored five of the first six goals, led by two off the stick of Neill to put the game out of reach at 12-2 with less than 25 minutes to go in the game.
 
The Ravens would score three of the next four to cut the deficit to eight at 13-5, but Immaculata scored the next four goals, sparked by the 100th career goal from Lopez with 11 minutes to go on an assist from Lapp.
 
The Mighty Macs would close out the 18-6 victory, their second straight.
 
Immaculata will now look to get their third straight victory overall and second straight in conference play on Saturday as they host Cedar Crest at 1 p.m. at Draper Walsh Stadium.
 
NOTES: Petito also tied Katie Cook (4/4/2013 at Cedar Crest) and Shannon Neill (3/20/2013 vs. Centenary) for most assists in a game … Along with Cook, Lopez joined Kacie O'Neill (2009-11), Rebecca Whiteman (2008-11), and Claire Lichty (2006-09) in the 100-goal club … Petito is now second on the career assists list and needs just three more helpers to be the school's all-time leader.
