DAVIDSON, N.C.  — Senior Lucy Sexton scored a season-high four goals and Davidson won its second straight with an impressive 12-7 win over rival High Point Friday night inside Richardson Stadium in women's lacrosse.
Â
The Wildcats halted their four-game losing streak in the series vs. the Panthers (3-3) by using a 4-0 run in the middle of the second half to break up a close game and move their record to 3-2 on the season.
Â
Sexton scored one of the four goals during the run, as she was one of three players to finish with multiple goals on the night.
Â
Christine Molinari recorded a season-high tying four points on a personal-best two goals and two assists to give her a team-high 16 points. Annie Brockett netted her first two goals of the year and added an assist. Both Molinari and Brockett registered a point during the game-changing run.
Â
Up by one after High Point's Samantha Brown made it 6-5, Davidson got goals from Sophia Sgroi, Sexton, Nicole Pettiglio and Brockett from 18:42 to the 10:27 mark in the second half to pull away.
Â
Brown got the Panthers within three at 10-7 with just over six minutes to go. Brockett answered right back for the 'Cats with an empty net goal and Emma Sissman capped off the win with her team-leading 13th goal off a pass from Brockett with 4:19 left.
Â
Brown matched Sexton for game high honors with four goals for High Point. Samantha Herman scored twice and Leah Pace added a goal.
Â
A reverse of the past two games, Davidson this time was the first team to jump out to a lead. Molinari opened the scoring six minutes in and Sexton followed with back-to-back scores a little later to make it 3-0.
Â
The senior got a hat trick in the first half when she made it 4-1 off a pass from Jean Atkinson with under seven and a half minutes to play. High Point got to within one before halftime, scoring a goal with just 19 seconds left.
Â
Molinari and Sarah Kopp put the first two goals in for the Wildcats in the second half, but the Panthers answered each one to stay within a goal before the 'Cats started to pull away.
Â
Maddy Sivilli had a big game on defense, recording a career-best five groundballs and causing two of Davidson's six turnovers.
Â
Between the pipes, Rose Woolson improved to 3-1 on the season by getting eight saves to go with four groundballs. HPU's Molly Andrews finished with five saves and two groundballs.
Â
Davidson had a 22-21 edge on shots. High Point picked up 16 groundballs and 12 draw controls compared the 'Cats numbers of 13 and eight in both categories.
Â
The Wildcats wrap up three games in an eight-day span by hosting Lehigh next Tuesday, March 15, at 6:30 p.m.
