FERRUM, Va.  --  The Ferrum College women's lacrosse team went 2-1 in three matches last week.  The Panthers opened play with a 15-11 loss to Sweet Briar College at home March 20, then won a pair of matches on the road, 19-3 over Trinity University (DC) March 23 and 13-11 over Shenandoah University March 24.

In the Sweet Briar match, junior Stephanie Perih (Centreville, Va./Paul VI) had five goals, junior Corinne Musanti (Staten Island, N.Y./St. John's Villa) had three goals, and freshman Katie Denney (Charlottesville, Va./Covenant) had two goals.

Perih was Ferrum's leading scorer again in the win over Trinity, netting five goals.  Senior Kerry Toomey (Arnold, Md./Broadneck) had three goals.  Musanti, Denney and junior Lindy Williams (Sterling, Va./Paul VI) each added a pair of goals.
