Frederick, MD - No. 19 Messiah College turned around less than 24 hours after a loss and won big in a MAC Commonwealth contest, 17-3 over Hood College. The win pushed the Falcons to 7-5, including 3-0 in the conference.

One day after dropping a road game to No. 5 Franklin & Marshall, Messiah scored six unanswered goals in the first 14 minutes to take a commanding lead over the Blazers. Jenna Stover assisted on the last two tallies of that stretch with each Courtney Wagner and Shayna Delaney scoring twice to help build the 6-0 advantage. After a goal by Anne Lessard made it 6-1 at the 15:25 mark, Messiah scored nine-straight goals to span the first and second periods. That put them up 14-1 en route to the convincing win.

Eleven different Falcons tallied a goal in the decision, with Delaney and Wagner each scoring three times. Ida Ehrhardt and Kendra Herbenar also tallied multiple goals, respectively, and both Stover and Allie Colson picked up two assists.

Messiah also dominated in every other part of the game, including draw controls (13-8), groundballs (24-10), and shots (39-5). They also forced 12 Hood turnovers on 17 clear attempts while going a perfect 8-8 on clears on themselves.

In the cage Alexa Dipeso and Ellery Klineyoung split time and only faced four shots on goal combined.

The Falcons will look to make it a winning streak when they travel to Widener University on Saturday for a game at 1:00 p.m.
