STEUBENVILLE, Ohio – The Allegheny women's lacrosse team closed out their regular season with a 15-5 Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) victory on the road at Franciscan Saturday (April 29).
 
The win locked up the number two seed in the upcoming PAC Championship Tournament. 
 
Thrwe Gators hit milestones in the game. Senna Perelman (Cleveland, Ohio/Cleveland Heights) notched her 100th point of the season while Lauren Petrarca (Simi Valley, Calif./Royal) registered her 100th career point. Grace Baginski (Lakeville, N.Y./Our Lady of Mercy) scored her 100th career goal.
 
The Gators jumped out to a 4-1 lead in the first quarter. Petrarca scored unassisted before Perelman scored back-to-back goals, the first assisted by Baginski. Perelman's second goal marked the 100th point of the season for the senior midfielder. Liz Dolan (Pittsburgh, Pa./Hampton) notched the fourth goal on Baginski's second assist before the Barons got on the board.
 
Similar to the first quarter, Petrarca scored early in the second off a feed by Amelia Henderson (Pittsburgh, Pa./North Allegheny). Ashley Amato (Westerly, R.I./Westerly) then scored unassisted to make it 6-1. Franciscan scored in the latter half of the frame as Allegheny took a 6-2 lead into halftime.
 
Allegheny outscored Franciscan 7-0 in the third quarter. Baginski scored three goals in the frame. The second goal was the 100th of her career. She also assisted a goal by Emily Herrold (Hampstead, Md./Manchester Valley). Petrarca also scored three goals in the 15 minutes while Ema Caragein (Pittsburgh, Pa./Seton La Salle) added a goal.
