WEST CHESTER, PA – Host West Chester scored the first six goals of the game and never looked back en route to a 20-5 victory over visiting Shepherd in a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern Division women's lacrosse contest on sun splashed Vonnie Gros Field Wednesday afternoon.
West Chester's defense caused 17 turnovers against a short-handed Shepherd squad that was down two regular starters. West Chester, which has already wrapped up the Eastern Division regular-season crown, remained unbeaten on the year at 15-0 overall and 11-0 in the conference. Shepherd fell to 4-11 overall and 1-10 in the league.
Sophomore attacker
Sydney Wasdick (Pottsgrove, Pa./Pottsgrove) notched her 100th career goal in the win. She finished with a hat trick in the contest to go along with seven ground balls and six draw controls. Teammate
Keri Barnett (Glenolden, Pa./Archbishop Carroll) netted five goals and finished with eight points. She had five ground balls and caused six turnovers. Barnett potted her team-high 90th goal of the season to become just the third different player to reach that milestone in a single season.

Hannah Stanislawczyk (92 in both 2023 and 2024) and Katelyn Martin (91 in 2006) in the 90-goal club.
