NORTHFIELD, Vt. - The Norwich University women's lacrosse team ran away with an 18-3 victory over the visiting Blue Jays of the University of Saint Joseph, on a rainy Tuesday night at Sabine Field in Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) play.

Norwich controlled the action end to end, scoring 12 goals in the first half alone to open up a 12-1 lead over the Blue Jays right away. The second half was much of the same, as the Cadets found the back of the net six more times to run away with the 18-3 victory.

Kathryn Albretsen (Cotuit, Mass.) led the way with a monster six-goal game on the evening to add to her team-leading 27 goals this season. Meaghan McGrath (Barre, Vt.) found the back of the net four times herself, and Kathryn Preul (Scottsdale, Ariz.) added three goals of her own. The Cadets outpaced the Blue Jays in most statistical categories, including ground balls (18-9), draw controls (19-3), and shots (37-8).

With the win, Norwich improves to 4-3 on the year and a 3-1 mark within the Great Northeast Athletic Conference. The Cadets are next in action Saturday, April 7, when they travel to Saint Joseph's (Maine) for a 1:00 PM start.
