The Florida Tech Women’s lacrosse team won their third straight game on Wednesday, dominating the visiting Wheeling Jesuit Cardinals 22-0 at Florida Tech Panther Stadium.

Sara Grenier had a hat trick in the first 10 minutes of the contest and she finished with four goals. Allie Modica (2 G, 2 A) and Sam Schiano (3 G, 1 A) had four point nights as well.

Most of the game was played with a running clock, but it didn’t run fast enough for Cardinals goalie Maire Austin, who gave up 10 goals before being pulled 17:09 into the contest. She made just two saves. Renee Cline played the remaining 42:51, giving up 12 goals and making three saves. Florida Tech took 32 shots during the course of the night.

Panthers goaltender Stephanie Stuart had to make just one save in 30 minutes of work. Backup goalie Chloe Zador played the second half and made three saves. The Cardinals managed just six shots all night.

Florida Tech (3-1) found the back of the net 13 times in the first half and with many bench players seeing time in the second half, they tallied nine times. Alexis Townsend (twice), Jordan Grant and Mollie Kaplan all found their way into the goal column in that second half.

Not surprisingly, the Panthers led in draw-controls 16-8, free-position shots 6-0 and ground balls 22-10. The only negative for Florida Tech was their 13 turnovers.

FIT Men Push Win Streak to Five

The first half was a back-and-forth affair with Jordan Majors and Patrick Anderson dropping in 12 points apiece. Majors was 4-of-5 from three-point range and Anderson was 2-of-5, leading the Panthers to an 11-of-18 first half, from beyond the arc. “The difference in the game was clearly in two areas,” said Panthers head coach Billy Mims in his postgame interview with Jim Mitchell. “We made 14 threes’ in the game and we’re shooting the ball as well as anybody in the conference,” he said. “We shot 41 percent behind the arc and when you shoot like that, it’s hard to lose games. The other thing that stood out was how well we passed the basketball, talk about a team effort, we had 26 assists and only 13 tur...

FIT Women Lose Key Game at Lynn

Gracie Doane - Photo credit: James Ragan Photography The Florida Tech women’s basketball team were doomed by a poor third quarter Friday night that saw the Lynn Fighting Knights outscore the Panthers 22-11, en route to a 71-61 Sunshine State Conference victory. The loss was the fourth in a row for Florida Tech. The Panthers troubles started early when leading scorer Shequana Harris was called for a foul two seconds into the contest. She picked up a second foul early and her third, just as the third quarter got underway. When all was said, and done, Harris played three minutes and scored two points. Florida Tech (6-6, 2-4 SSC) held their own early without her, leading 13-12 with 1:23 left in the first quarter, thanks to a layup by Gudlau Juliusdottir before Lynn overtook them, scoring five straight points and leading 17-13 at the end of the first quarter. Lynn (7-4, 2-3 SSC) extended their lead to 23-15 early in the second quarter and were up 27-19 before Gracie D...

Florida Tech Falls Late Against Adelphi

Image
The Florida Tech Panthers lacrosse team put up a great effort against the ninth ranked Adelphi Panthers on Thursday, losing 10-8 in a tightly contested game. Florida Tech goaltender Daniel Flock stood tall, against a highly skilled Adelphi squad, coming up with nine saves. The Panthers of Florida Tech scored six unanswered goals at one point, turning a 5-2 deficit into an 8-5 lead, but Adelphi scored five straight from about the halfway point of the fourth, to the end of the game and escaped with a victory. Florida Tech (1-1) did a lot of things right on Thursday statistically, winning in shots 37-29 and ground balls 37-31. They were 2-for-5 on the man-up, while AU was 1-for-3 and FIT was successful on 19 of their 20 clear attempts. Unfortunately, they did not win on the scoreboard and that’s the only number that counts. Adelphi (1-0) was led by Nick Racalbuto, who had four goals and Michael Osmundsen who had three, to go along with one assist. The other Racalbuto in ...
