ALFRED, N.Y (April 7, 2013) – Senior midfielder Spencer Waybright (West Hartford, Conn.) became the sixth player in the program history to accumulate 200 points Sunday as the Stevens Institute of Technology women's lacrosse team improved to 2-1 in the Empire 8 and 6-6 overall with a 16-3 rout of Alfred University.
 
Coming into the game, Waybright needed five points for 200 and ended with eight behind five goals and three assists. Her 200th came 15:59 into the game on a goal assisted by freshman Mackenzie Swartout (Rochester, N.Y.) and gave the Ducks a 10-0 advantage.
 
Stevens dominated from the opening draw all the way through the final whistle, keeping Alfred off the scoreboard throughout the first 33:38 of the game. Waybright finished with five goals (on just six shots), three assists, one ground ball and one caused turnover, and junior midfielder Kara Rafferty (Bayshore, N.Y.) had seven points behind three tallies, four assists, a game-high eight draw controls and two caused turnovers. Freshman Jaimie Mastrogiacomo (Whitehouse Station, N.J.) notched a pair of scores and one ground ball, with freshman midfielder Erika Wilcox (Baldwinsville, N.Y.) and Swartout getting two points on a goal and an assist.

Junior Mel Welcome (Winsted, Conn.) made three saves and did not allow a goal in 30 minutes of action to earn the win. Junior Sarah Prall (Lancaster, Pa.) made four stops in her 30 minutes for the Ducks.
