It was a beautiful day for some lacrosse on Muir Field! The Tritons came out ready to play and full of energy. The game was a close matchup from the get-go, with Santa Clara and the Tritons both scoring quick goals. Throughout the duration of the game, the score was always within 3 goals. The Tritons were successful in capitalizing on the mistakes of the Broncos, always hustling to re-defend and turn over the ball on transitions. Defense was a unit against the Broncos, only allowing 6 goals despite their lengthy possessions. Goalie Kiara Young was a force for the Tritons, with a save rate of 60%. She came in clutch during many defensive sets. On attack, Nikki Shin led the goal scorers with 3 and Kayla Tracy followed with 2. It was all tied up in the last minute of the fourth quarter, and Karli Adams scored a beautiful free position shot to give the Tritons the lead. The Tritons were able to hold the Broncos off, pulling off a great first win of the season.
