The Lady Captains trailed 7-3 at halftime and out scored the Lady Yellow Jackets 5-4 in the second half. CNU got as close as two twice, once with 25:47 left in the second half trailing 7-5 and again with 6:17 left in the game trailing 10-8, but that’s as close as they would get.
Elaine Kirby led the way with three goals and is now the all-time leader in goals scored in school history with 76. Kristen Conques finished with two goals and Kristyn Hankins, Celia Mallory and Renee Nagle contributed one goal each. Lori Bickham added an assist.
Both teams finished with 23 shots on goals as Elizabeth Werbiskis has nine saves in net.
CNU is now 2-6 overall and returns to action this Saturday at Ferrum with start time set for 1 pm.
