GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - Today the Calvin women's lacrosse team celebrated Senior Day in fashion as it put on an offensive clinic to take down the Belles on Saint Mary's. 

After today's game the Knights improved to a 11-3 overall record while remaining perfect in MIAA play at 5-0. Saint Mary's falls to 5-9 overall and 2-4 in the MIAA.

Calvin put on the pressure right from the jump as they score nine unanswered goals in the first quarter with Morgan Bethard (DeWitt, Mich./DeWitt) leading the way with three. Saint Mary's scored the first goal of the second quarter but the Knights did not waver as they netted four more of their own before halftime to take the 13-1 lead.

As the second half got underway Bethard scored the lone goal on the third quarter before Audrey Booher (Fishers, Ind./Heritage Christian) and Jessica Eenigenburg (Norton Shores, Mich./Western Michigan Christian) each found the back of the net to start the fourth. While Saint Mary's found some fight and scored with under five minutes left in the game, freshman Corinne Plumb (St. Louis, Mo./Westminster Christian Academy) scored two goals down the stretch for the Knights as Calvin walked away with the commanding 18-2 victory.

Calvin out shot the Belles 45-13 while forcing Saint Mary's to turn the ball over 27 times. Bethard finished the game as the leading scorer for the Knights with six goals while Booher ended the game with four goals. Plumb, Meghan Chang (Clarksburg, Md./Clarksburg), Delaney Johnson (Spring Lake, Mich./Spring Lake) and Jacey Smith (Watertown, Wis./Watertown) each chipped in two goals while Alex Petrusha (Milford, Mich./Milford) led the team with five caused turnovers.

In goal, sophomore Hannah Rizzo (Waterville, Ohio/Anthony Wayne) recorded seven saves.

After the game, the Knights took time to honor lone senior Meghan Chang and thank her for all she has contributed to her team and the Calvin women's lacrosse program over the years.
