The No. 18 Stanford women’s lacrosse team lost a physical game against No. 11 Georgetown, 15-8, Tuesday evening at Laird Q. Cagan Stadium.
Stanford (2-2) received a big offensive effort from the reining Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Offensive Player of the Week, Rachel Ozer, who led the team with five points on four goals and an assist. Ozer has tallied a team-high 18 points with 12 goals and six assists on the season.
Georgetown (4-0) had a strong offensive day of its own, tallying 15 goals on 28 shots. The Hoyas finished the second half on a 6-2 scoring run, including a span of five consecutive goals in eight and a half minutes.
Freshman Lucy Dikeou was strong defensively for the Cardinal, causing three turnovers, picking up three ground balls and one draw control. Anna Kim led Stanford in draw controls with four and also scored a goal for her fifth on the year.
Ozer opened the game’s scoring just 1:31 into the first half. However, Georgetown would respond 25 seconds later with its first of the game from sophomore Caroline Tarzian. It was Tarzian’s first of five goals on the day as she led the Hoyas in scoring.
Stanford ran into foul trouble with the game knotted at one apiece, with Rachel Kalick and Nina Swanson receiving yellow cards less than a minute and a half apart. However, Stanford was able to endure the pressure of being down a player and did not allow Georgetown to score during that span.
