Box Score
Ohio Wesleyan 24, Hiram 13

Junior attacker Sloane Baumgartner (Naperville, Ill./St. Francis) scored 5 goals and sophomore attacker Megan McElgunn (Cohasset, Mass.) added 4 more as Ohio Wesleyan took a 15-6 halftime lead and went on to a North Coast Athletic Conference win over Hiram on Tuesday at Selby Stadium.

Baumgartner and McElgunn each scored twice as the Bishops sprinted to a 4-0 lead just over 5 minutes into the action, and Baumgartner added a goal less than a minute later for a 5-0 Ohio Wesleyan lead.

Katelyn Slomovitz connected on a free-position shot to put the Terriers on the scoreboard at the 21:38 mark, but Baumgartner and McElgunn scored to highlight a 4-0 Bishop run that extended the margin to 9-1.

Tayler Hall and Slomovitz answered with goals to bring the visitors within 9-3, but Ohio Wesleyan responded with scores by sophomore attacker Paige Ross (Boston, Mass./), sophomore midfielder Jenn Douglas (Easton, Md./Saints Peter and Paul), and sophomore attacker Emily Sheridan (North Smithfield, R.I./Marianapolis (Conn.) Prep).  The Bishops had an answer for every Terrier run after that, never allowing the visitors to come closer than 8 goals during the remainder of the contest.

Baumgartner led the Bishops with 7 goals and 2 assists.  The 7 goals raised her season total to 52, making her the fifth Ohio Wesleyan women's lacrosse player to reach the 50-goal mark and only the third to surpass it.  McElgunn finished with 5 goals and 2 assists.  Douglas scored 4 goals and collected 14 draw controls.  Senior Kelly Coffyn (Bainbridge Island, Wash./Bainbridge) made 2 saves during the first 22-plus minutes and sophomore Rachel Albers (Mason) had 2 saves during the final 37-plus minutes.

Slomovitz led Hiram with 7 goals.  Ketzia Umana and Gillian McMaster combined for 12 saves for the Terriers.
