Sophomore midfielder Sam Frary scored to kick off a 6-1 run that broke a 5-5 tie and sent the Ohio Wesleyan women’s lacrosse team on its way to a 14-8 North Coast Athletic Conference win over Oberlin on Wednesday in Oberlin.
Senior attacker Nicole Klabus and junior attacker Caroline Fleming had scored as the Bishops broke a 2-2 tie, but the Yeowomen rallied to even the score at 5 on goals by Megan Hiller and Emily Shimabukuro.

Senior midfielder Sophia DelGallo and freshman attacker Isabel Milner followed with scores before Frary scored to finish off the 6-1 Bishop run at the 9:48 mark of the third quarter.
Frary connected on another 8-meter shot midway through the third period and DelGallo scored 2 goals down the stretch.
DelGallo and Frary scored 4 goals apiece, with DelGallo also setting up 3 other scores. Junior Abby Markowitz recorded 11 shots in the Ohio Wesleyan crease.
