First-year Lucy West (Bethesda, MD/Holton-Arms) intercepted a pass and scored to make the score 9-7 with just under 11 minutes to play.

Sophomore Alysa Crellin (Little Compton, RI/Portsmouth Abbey School) matched a career-high with another dominant performance on the circle, controlling 10 draws. She led the attack with three goals as well.

Amy Jennings (Baltimore, MD/McDonogh) and Sara Braniekcki (Ocean City, MD/Stephen Decatur) each tallied two assists. Jennings fed classmate Abby Larson (Easton, MD/Gunston Day) who went airborne to finish a quick-stick goal that put the Devils in front 3-2.

Jessie Clark (Devon, PA/Conestoga) made just five saves, but played outstanding in goal for the Devils. Ceglarski led all scorers with five goals and an assist as the Bullets improve to 12-0 and 5-0 in the Centennial Conference.

The Red Devils slip to 6-3 overall and 3-1 in the CC. They host Elizabethtown at 4:30 on Friday.

CARLISLE, Pa. – The second-ranked Gettysburg College women's lacrosse team received all it could handle from No. 16 Dickinson College, but the Bullets held off the Red Devils 12-7 in Centennial Conference action on Tuesday. With the victory, Gettysburg remained undefeated on the season (12-0), including 5-0 against conference foes, while Dickinson (7-2, 3-1 CC) suffered its first league loss of the spring.

Senior Katie Ceglarski (Darien, Conn./Darien) led the visitors with six points coming on five goals and one assist, the latter marking the 100th of her career. She is just the second Bullet to reach 100 career assists and only the eighth to accomplish the feat in the history of the Centennial Conference.
