Loughborough notch up title-treble in BUSA finals
By Neil Goulding
LOUGHBOROUGH University have won the BUSA Women's Lacrosse
Championship for a third successive season.
The Leicestershire students were just too good for Edinburgh
and having led 6-4 at half time, maintained control to triumph
14-9.
England international Keely Watt led the charge with five
goals, while captain Lyndsey Cross added four goals.
Lucy Lynch (3), another England international, Alison Smith
and Katy Robertson were also on the scoresheet for the defending
champions, who overcame London (10-9), Oxford (7-5) and Bristol
(21-1) on route to this year's final.
Vicky Raymer top-scored with a record 18 goals as Liverpool
cruised past Brighton in this year's Shield final.
Liverpool ran out comprehensive 30-13 winners having led
23-6 at half time.
And although Brighton won the second half 8-7, further goals
from Jenni Archer (3), Jo Fawkner-Corbett (3), Anna Threlfall
(3), Jess Summers, Vicky Hepworth and an own-goal from Lynn
Phillips completed the scoring.
Brighton replied with eight goals from Caroline Ingarfield
and other goals from Jenna Cook (3) and Catherine Baker (2).
Cambridge University failed to retain the Trophy final after
a nerve-racking 10-9 loss to first-time finalists Durham.
Durham led 7-6 and managed to hang on for a memorable title
win.
