Oberlin, Ohio – The Oberlin College women's lacrosse team put on an impressive defensive display, defeating the Allegheny College Gators 14-3 on Tuesday night at the Austin E. Knowlton Athletics Complex.

Rauchle's 8-meter finish with 20:53 left in the opening stanza made it 4-0. She would go on to score the final two goals of the session to give the Yeowomen a comfortable halftime advantage.

Rauchle and Phister connected twice early in the second half to make it 10-0 before the Gators finally got on the board with just under 21 minutes left to play. Alexa Maloney got one past L'Insalata with the help of a Shelby Pieper assist.

With the final outcome never in doubt, the Yeowomen continued to stay aggressive in the second half. Maggie Mullard would cash in her second goal of the night and Eliza Amber would complete her three-goal performance. Phister also added her 28^th score of the season.
