Freshman Rachel Stevens had a breakout game for the Scots, throwing in five goals after being held scoreless in her first collegiate contest on Tuesday. Adding two goals apiece in the loss were junior Miriam Esber and sophomore Beth Hemminger.

Also for Wooster, sophomore Megan Kennedy scored one goal and had the team's lone two assists, while junior Emily White contributed a goal.

In goal, junior Kim Christensen came up with 13 saves for the Scots, while the Cardinals' Lynn Model secured her squad's victory with six saves.

Wooster, which is 0-2 on the young season, will make its home debut on Sunday (March 25) against Indiana University of Pennsylvania, with gametime slated for noon.
