WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Senior midfielder Meghan Korzevinski (New Hyde Park, N.Y.) scored five goals, matching her career high, and freshman midfielder Zoe Rocha (Houston) made her collegiate debut a strong one with three markers, leading Caldwell women's lacrosse to a season-opening 16-5 triumph over UDC on Saturday.

Senior GK Serena Barra (Cranford, N.J.) played the first three quarters in goal, registering six saves to record the victory.

With the score tied at 1 in the first, Caldwell rattled off five straight goals, three by Korzevinski and two by Rocha, to take a 6-1 lead with 8:20 remaining in the half. UDC closed to within 7-4 at halftime, but the Cougars came out strong after the intermission, outscoring the Firebirds, 6-0 and going on to score nine straight goals until a final marker with 15 seconds left by UDC accounted for the final margin.

Junior midfielder Tiana Cipot (North Brunswick, N.J.) had two goals and three assists for the Cougars, while freshman Lily Ketchum (Las Vegas) had two goals and an assist in her first contest as a Cougar.

Caldwell next plays Millersville on Tuesday, a neutral-site game at the USA Lacrosse Center/Tierney Field in Sparks, Md. on Tuesday.
