YORK, PA-Junior attack Brianna Yapps (Joppa, MD/Fallston) tied a single-game school record with 11 points as the York College women’s lacrosse team scored a school-record 21 goals en route to a 21-10 Capital Athletic Conference win over Marymount University on Wednesday in York, PA. The Spartans, winners of two straight, improve to 2-3 overall and 1-1 in the CAC while the Saints fall to 0-5 and 0-2 in the conference.
    The Spartans got on the board just 12 seconds into the game as Jaclyn Girsh (Mahopac, NY/Mahopac) won the draw control, drove down the field and fed Lindsay Nixon (Westminster, MD/Westminster) for the goal. The Saints responded by dominating play over the next eight minutes of the game as they outscored York 3-0. The Spartans responded to the Saints spurt with ten unanswered goals, taking an 11-3 lead with just over two minutes left in the half. The Saints scored on an Ali Fulton free position shot with 1:28 remaining before the break but the Spartans responded with a Yapps goal right before the half as they led 12-5 at the intermission.
    The green and white continued to get the better of the play in the second half as they built their lead to as many as 12 three different times in the half.
    Yapps finished the game with eight goals and three assists as she tied Girsh’s school record for points in game. Yapps scored her eight goals on just nine shots. She also contributed six ground balls for the Spartans. Junior Alison Napolitano (Annapolis, MD/Annapolis Area Christian) contributed six points with three goals and three assists while Girsh had five points on two goals and three assists.
