ATLANTA – Coming off of a double-digit win on Thursday, the Centre women's lacrosse team (6-5, 2-1 SAA) stayed away from Kentucky for another contest on Saturday morning, this time against Oglethorpe. The Colonels kept the offensive momentum from last game rolling, totaling a season-high 22 goals opposed to the Stormy Petrels' 11 in the win.
 
GAME HIGHLIGHTS
- The Gold and White were tenacious on both sides of the field, rattling off six unanswered scores to claim a 6-0 lead after the first period. McKenna Hulette led the squad with a pair of her own goals during the stretch, one being from the free position.

- Sophomore Lily Gahm turned as the biggest offensive threat in the third period, scoring points in four of the five Centre goals in the third segement of action (one goal, three assists).
- Gahm would help the Colonels close out the Stormy Petrels for their fourth win in five games with a pair of goals in the final period of action.

- Gahm's 10 points marks a career-high for the 2021 SAA Newcomer of the Year, her second-straight contest of having nine points or more in regulation.
- Ella Treinen's 10 draw controls against the Stormy Petrels doubles her previous season-high of five, the first time a student-athlete on the roster has completed the feat this season.
