Naturale, Augeri Power Women's Lacrosse Past RPI 20-8

ITHACA, N.Y. - The Ithaca College women's lacrosse team celebrated Senior Day in style on Saturday afternoon, racing past RPI 20-8 at Higgins Stadium, improving to 9-4 on the season and 6-3 in Liberty League play. Paving the way to the Bombers big win were senior attacker Leigh Naturale and junior attacker Kelly Augeri who both notched career days, factoring in on 15 of IC's season-high 20 goals in the victory.

Prior to the contest, the Bombers honored their five seniors (Leigh Naturale, Lily Cody, Phoebe Hosford, Nichole Allan, and Katelyn Ikle) in the Class of 2026. Once play got underway it was Naturale that set the tone. After an early marker by RPI's Beckett Houston to get the scoring underway, Naturale scored once and added two assists to help Ithaca out to a 4-1 lead. Although a short RPI run briefly leveled the score at 4-4 at the end of the first quarter, it was all Bombers from that point forward. Scoring runs of three goals and four goals sandwiched a second RPI tally from Beckett, lifting IC to an 11-5 lead at the halftime break. 

Naturale finished the day with 11 points, notching a hat trick and adding eight assists. Augeri peppered the back of the net throughout, scoring six times and adding two helpers. Sophomore Kathryn Scallon also chipped in four goals for her first career hat trick. First-year Anna Dahlman added two goals and two assists, while senior Lily Cody posted three points with two goals and an assist. Also tickling the twine for the Bombers were sophomore Taya Dukes (one goal, one assist), first-year Aubrey Holowinski (one goal), and senior Katelyn Ikle (one goal).

Sophomore Mikaela Dattilo made five saves in net to secure the victory for Ithaca. Leading the defensive charge was sophomore Gabrielle Crellin who forced three caused turnovers. Senior Phoebe Hosford, junior Sydney Smith, as well as Dukes, Cody, and Naturale each forced a turnover in the win.

Ithaca is back in action on Friday, April 17, when it hosts regional rival St. John Fisher at Higgins Stadium. Opening draw is scheduled for 4:00 p.m.
