After a 14-7 victory on Saturday, the Florida Tech women’s lacrosse team was right back at it Sunday, making it look easy against the Montevallo Falcons with an 18-2 victory in a neutral site game, played in Tampa.

Sara Grenier had a hat trick in the first 4:55 of Sunday’s contest. Grenier had a hat trick Saturday and picked up right where she left off Sunday, putting up five goals against Falcons goalie Irfana Ahmed. Caroline Dunleavy added four goals on Sunday, following her hat trick the previous day.

It was complete domination for the Panthers from start to finish. They put 12 goals on the board in the first half alone, including the first 11 goals of the game. Dunleavy had her hat trick in just under 13 minutes.

Jordan Grant and Mollie Kaplan came off the bench with two goals for the Panthers and Sam Schiano added two of her own.

Florida Tech goalie Stephanie Stuart gave up just two goals, one to Lauren Duckworth in the first half and Alyssa Kaminski in the second half, but the Falcons managed just eight shots with six on goal. On the other side, the Panthers fired 38 shots, 26 of those on net.

Montevallo (3-5) turned the ball over 26 times in the game and were only 8-for-15 on clears. The Panthers went a perfect 16-for-16 on clears, turning the ball over 19 times. Florida Tech won the ground ball battle 21-12 and won 14 draw controls, to only eight for the Falcons.

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...

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 ...
