Wingate, N.C.----Wingate University senior attack Brittany Andrews (Bel Air, Md.) led all scorers with eight points (five goals, three assists) as the Bulldogs celebrated Senior Day with a 17-5 South Atlantic Conference women's lacrosse victory over Brevard from Graham Gill Field at the Irwin Belk Track Complex Saturday. Six players scored and seven student-athletes dished out an assist for the host Bulldogs.

"Our team did a great job of executing our game plan today," Wingate head coach Caline McHenry Olmsted says. "It was a special day to honor our five senior student-athletes. I was proud we were able to play hard and get contributions from a lot of different players on both sides of the ball."

Wingate never trailed, bolting to a 3-0 lead six minutes into the first frame, thanks to two goals by redshirt junior attack Shannon O'Neal (Severna Park, Md.) and one score by Andrews. Brevard junior attack Nina Siu (Greensboro, N.C.) sandwiched her team-best two goals around an O'Neal score to make the score 5-3 Wingate at the 12:29 mark.
 
The Tornados would get no closer as the Bulldogs put together an 8-0 run (spanning both halves) to take a 13-3 lead on back-to-back goals by freshman midfielder Casey Roux (Rochester, N.Y.) with 20:58 to go in the contest. O'Neal did the heavy lifting in the first half, scoring all four of her goals in the opening frame. Wingate led 10-3 at intermission.
