Louisville Hangs On For 15-13 Win at Vanderbilt
February 25, 2020 | Women's Lacrosse
Brenna Shanahan finished with six assists in the win.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Shayla Scanlan netted four goals and Brenna Shanahan recorded six assists as Louisville women's lacrosse sealed a 15-13 victory over Vanderbilt on Tuesday afternoon in Nashville.
With the win, the Cardinals improve to 3-2 on the season, while the Commodores drop to 3-2.
"We battled some adversity today, but I was proud of our team for the way they fought through it and made enough plays to get the win," said head coach Scott Teeter.
Vanderbilt jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead, but Louisville responded. Izzy Holmes found the back of the net and back-to-back goals from Allegra Catalano put the Cardinals up 3-2.
From there, it was back and forth between the Cardinals and the Commodores. Goals from Ally Hall and Paige Richbourg less than a minute apart knotted the game at 7-7 heading into the break.
Three straight goals by Ally Hall, Scanlan, and Hannah Morris gave the Cardinals an 11-8 lead with 21:10 remaining. Shanahan recorded her sixth assist when she connected with Scanlan, who completed her hat trick, to give Louisville a 14-10 lead with 7:42 left on the clock.
Three unanswered Vanderbilt goals put the Commodores within one in the final two minutes of the game and the Cardinals called timeout.
Coming out of the timeout, Scanlan netted her fourth goal of the day with 72 seconds remaining to seal the 15-13 win.
"Vanderbilt really pushed us late, but we called that timeout and hit Shayla (Scanlan) on the play that we drew up," added Teeter.
Shanahan's six assists were a new career-high and marked the second-most in a game in program history.
Hall, Richbourg, Catalano, Morris, and Caroline Blalock all recorded two goals. Shanahan and Alex McNicholas both added six draw controls as Louisville won the draw control battle, 20-10.
Rachel Florek finished with 14 saves and a .519 save percentage.
Louisville returns home on Saturday, Feb. 29 at 1 p.m. E.T. for its conference opener against Virginia Tech.
