FREDERICK, Md. -- The Elizabethtown College women's lacrosse team scored three times in each half of Tuesday's season-opener at Hood, but the Blazers doubled up the Blue Jays in the end and won 12-6. Lexie Sharp recorded her first career hat trick in the loss for E-town.

Hood (1-0) led 1-0 after Rachel Slater's goal 24 seconds into the game. The Blazers were able to keep Elizabethtown (0-1) scoreless until Sharp produced the team's opening goal off an assist from Julia Ferrante. The Blue Jays trailed 5-1 at that point.

A pair of goals from Laura Skorobatsch pushed Hood's lead up to 7-1, but Kate Ziegler answered with her first of the year. Ferrante provided her second assist of the game on the goal.

Madelyn Baker scored her first of two with just 10 seconds left in the first half. E-town trailed 9-3 at halftime.

The Blue Jays' defense held Hood to three second-half goals as they tried to get back into it. Sharp tallied her second goal of the game less than 10 minutes into the second half. She made it consecutive goals to get Elizabethtown within 10-5 and complete her hat trick, but Blazers' goalie Danielle Holt made it tough for E-town to get closer than five.

Baker got the Jays' final goal of the game, and, as she did in the first half, she scored with less than a minute on the clock. Baker's goal, her second of the game, came with 52 left in the game and a player down.

Slater and Kara Phoubandith each scored three goals for Hood. Ferrante (3a), Ziegler (1g,2a), and Sharp (3g) all had three points for the Blue Jays. Abby Kopytko had seven saves for E-town. Jennifer Beihoff, who played the last 13:27, made two saves.
