RADFORD, Va. --
Corinne Webb scored five times and the Duquesne University lacrosse team pushed its win streak to five in a row with a 14-12 victory at Radford on Saturday afternoon.
The game stayed within three goals from start to finish and was tied twice, but Duquesne never trailed and held on for the win. Now 5-1 on the season, the Dukes are on their longest win streak (5) since 2014.
Webb's five goals are the most by a Duke in a game this season and bring her over the 20 mark this season, at 21 through five games.
Mackenzie Leszczynski added four goals for the second straight game - her third four-goal outing of the season.
Emma Raines found the back of the net three times and added an assist totaling a career-high four points.Â
Freshman
Gracin Emerson scored her first career goal at the 7:13 mark in the third quarter to give DU its largest lead of the afternoon (+3 / 10-7), a margin they held three more times fending off any late Highlander comeback attempt.
Graduate transfer
Lindsay Newton dished out a career-best two assists and scored once.
Jillian Caroselli,
Tristen Chang,
Charlotte Stamper, and
Ali Evans all chipped in an assist apiece, as Duquesne totaled seven assists on the 14 goals. Stamper and Evans, both freshmen, made it back-to-back games with points after both recording their first career goals last time out, while Caroselli and Chang extended their point streaks to four games.
No team scored more than two goals in a row all game and the entire second half alternated scores. Duquesne jumped out in front 3-1 less than eight minutes into the game and led 9-7 at the half. Four of Webb's five goals came in the first half.
The Dukes had an early season-high four free position goals (4-6), as Leszczynski and Webb each went 2-for-2.
Duquesne outshot Radford 32-27 and 27-21 on goal, while holding a +8 turnover margin (20-28).
Rachel O'Toole (four saves) and
Megan LaBorne (5 saves) split time in goal.
