Grace Curran and Jane
Fetterolf had a combined 10
goals and six assists.

“We just know how to nd
each other,” said Fetterolf.

e scoring began quickly
on Curran’s draw. Fetterolf
got to the bounce and found
the net in the opening
seconds. Curran didn’t wait
long to one up Fetterolf and
made furious charges up eld
to give the Tigers a 3-1 lead.

Magnus’ Sam Bischo
answered with three of her
eight goals to take Magnus’

rst lead in the back-and-
forth game.

“She’s extremely dynamic
with a high lacrosse IQ
that plays end to end,” said
Albertus Magnus coach
Missi Holland.

A 5-4 Tiger lead was soon
a 7-5 disadvantage on the
heels of two more Bischo

O a foul above the crease,
the captain scored at the

“We want her to have the
ball when we need a goal,”
said Heyde.

Curran set up Jenna
Shaughnessy with a high pass
out front with eight minutes
remaining and then the duo
made it a trilogy with Colleen
McCarthy on the break.

“Grace came down with
