Crusaders Use Strong Surge En Route to Upset of No. 17 Mount Olive

MOUNT OLIVE, N.C. — Olivia Carlino tallied seven goals and the Belmont Abbey women's lacrosse team used a run of nine unanswered goals to earn a 16-9 upset win over No. 17 Mount Olive Saturday afternoon at the Ray McDonald Complex. Saturday's game marked the Conference Carolinas opener for the Crusaders.

Carlino was one of six Crusaders to finish with multiple points and one of four with multiple goals on the day. Katelyn Miller had four goals for the Abbey while Triniti Cassidy and Grace Ridge each had two for Belmont Abbey. 

Summer Eddinger made nine saves in goal and six ground balls defensively.

It is the first win over the Trojans since April 28, 2018 when the Abbey defeated UMO in the semifinals of the Conference Carolinas tournament. Additionally, the win also snapped a 44-game conference winning streak for Mount Olive. 

Belmont Abbey is 1-1 overall and 1-0 in the league while Mount Olive is also 1-1 both overall and in the league.
