Churchville-Chili allowed only three goals in each half while senior Meredith Woo and sophomore Kayla Wiest each netted hat tricks in a 15-6 victory over visiting Wayne Central in girls lacrosse.
Sophomore Hailey McNamara staked the Saints to an early 1-0 lead scoring off a pass by classmate Angel Reina just 46 seconds into the contest. Woo followed with her first after she stumbled about 15 yards away from the net, but regained her footing in time to shoot at 2:51.
After a Wayne tally, Reina scored on a free possession at 4:36 followed by a pair of goals less than two minutes apart by Wiest – the first assisted by Woo – to extend the lead to 5-1.
Reina netted another free possession goal before Ana Gruttadauria used an inside-out move to also find the back of the net 21 seconds later. Woo then attacked from behind the net and scored short side as the Saints led 8-3 at halftime.
They put the game out of reach in the first two minutes of the second half as Woo found Wiest cutting to the net 43 seconds in followed by Woo scoring her third of the game on a free possession at 1:51 and senior Maddy Marsh converting a pass from Wiest eight seconds later for an 11-3 lead.
Woo added two more unassisted goals and senior Skylar Burgess another before sophomore Paige Temperato scored her first varsity goal at 20:29 of the second half to complete the scoring.
Churchville-Chili senior goalie Chiara Rota made three saves in the first half and classmate Mady Osbourne duplicated that in relief over the last 25 minutes to help the Saints earn their third win of the season.
