Coming off yet another SAA win, the Rhodes College Lynx hit the road to wrap up regular season play this weekend, first against the Transylvania University Pioneers. 

Right off the first whistle, the Lynx were determined to start strong. Sophomore Caroline Kardian landed the first goal for the Lynx, assisted by senior Molly Martiner. To add to the board, senior Chloe Parker took the ball straight to the cage with an absolute ringer of a goal. The Pioneers answered back with an unassisted goal. Junior Anna Erskine was able to take yet another dodge and place it in the back of the net. Junior Molly Heidrick adds her first goal of the game, followed by another goal by Caroline Kardian. Molly Martiner sent in two more feeds that resulted in goals by Parker and Erskine to seal the first quarter at 9-3. 

Molly Martiner opened the second quarter with an unassisted goal and then fed Jules Dalessandro for a shot and goal. Caroline Kardian secured her hat-trick on the day with another first-half goal. Following, Molly Heidrick gets back into the mix, going unassisted, as Avery Burke seals the half with another goal, assisted by Martiner. Martiner finalized the score, making it 14-6 at halftime.

The Lynx came out firing as Caroline Kardian scored in the first 30 seconds of the half. Mariner feeds Parker again, making the score a 10-goal difference for the first time of the day. Kardian finished her scoring with an unassisted goal as she recorded 5 goals on the day. Next, Molly Martiner secures her second goal and closes out her 8-point performance in Lexington. Sophomore defender Rory Monahan cleared the ball into the Pioneers defensive end with a mission to record her first collegiate goal, and that's exactly what she did. Senior Chloe Parker finishes the day getting one last woman-up goal, having a 5-goal performance on the day. To complete their 8-goal run, the Lynx produced on another woman-up opportunity from Avery Burke.

Alban Erdle opens the fourth quarter with an unassisted goal as she records her first of the day. Burke and Heidrick finished the day with one goal each, making the final score a dominant 24-7 in favor of the Lynx. The attack opportunities wouldn't have occurred without the fight on the draw circle. Junior Bari Pinkett grabbed 6 draw controls, and Anna Erskine had 4. Defensively, Bells Sklena led the team in ground balls with 6 and caused turnovers with 4, as these were career highs. 

The Lynx look to Sunday April 14th when they play in Rome, Georgia at 12pm ET to take on their final SAA conference play against the Berry College Vikings.
