FROSTBURG, MD. – The University of Charleston Women's Lacrosse team finished their season with a loss to the Bobcats of Frostburg State on Thursday in the Semifinal of the Mountain East Conference tournament.
The Golden Eagles, a team who has been plagued with injury all season, came up short against Frostburg State last week. They were able to win a game against the Bobcats in the fall of 2021 but during the 2022 season they would drop all their contests to Frostburg.
Charleston would go down from the beginning of the game and could never mount a comeback. They allowed 5 unanswered goals before getting on the board with a goal by
Madison Sobolewski with six minutes left in the first quarter. She would tack on another goal five minutes later and bring the score to 6-2 at the sound of the first quarter horn.
The Golden Eagles would cut the Bobcat lead to as few as 2 after goals by
Sophia Conzone and
Riley Johnson. For
Johnson, it would mark her first collegiate goal and the only goal of her freshman campaign.
Kayleigh Burns added another goal later in the second and brought the score to 5-8 but at halftime UC still trailed 11-5.
Conzone added another goal with 12:03 remaining in the third quarter and it would mark a new school record for single season goals.
Conzone, a freshman attacker from Syracuse, NY, tallied 48 goals during the 2022 season and broke the previous single season record held by Aryanna Hill from 2018. For her efforts she was named the 2022 MEC Freshman of the Year and was named to the MEC First Team.
UC would be outpaced for the remainder of the contest as they gave up 13 goals in the final two quarters while only mustering up two goals of their own.
In the end, the ladies would fall 23-7 and move to 6-9 overall for the season. They went 4-4 in conference play on the season, notching two wins against Davis & Elkins and two against West Virginia Wesleyan.
