Cebrero Earns 100th Career Point in 14-3 Win Over Dean

FRANKLIN, Mass. – The Rivier women's lacrosse team dominated in its Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) opener, defeating Dean 14-3 Saturday afternoon at Grant Field.

With the win, the Raiders improved to 1-2 (1-0 GNAC), while the Bulldogs fell to 0-2 (0-1 GNAC).

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • First-year Olivia Wheeler opened the scoring at 8:42 with a free position goal. Sophomore Ashlynn Ledoux doubled Rivier's lead just 32 seconds later with an unassisted goal. First-year Chloe Waldron capped off the first quarter scoring with a free position tally with 3:26 remaining.
  • First-year Hayleigh Young pushed the Raiders' lead to four just under five minutes into the second quarter, and sophomore Brooke Carter added another less than two minutes later for Rivier's fifth straight unassisted goal. The Raiders broke the game open with a three-goal burst in just 1:18, highlighted by a free-position finish from junior Sofia Cebrero before she converted again off a feed from junior Shaelyn Burke. Wheeler capped the first-half surge at the 2:35 mark, sending Rivier into the break with a commanding 8–0 advantage.
  • Coming out of the break, Young and Ledoux struck just 1:03 apart to push the margin to 10. The teams then played through a 5:15 scoreless stretch before Dean broke through with its first goal at the 3:27 mark, adding another with 2:03 remaining to cut the deficit to eight.
  • Wheeler completed her hat trick at 10:30 of the fourth, and Burke connected with Cebrero once again to restore the 10-goal cushion, securing Cebrero's 100th career point in the process. Carter added her second of the day before Dean tallied its third, and Ledoux closed out the scoring at 1:04 to seal the 14–3 victory.
