FINDLAY, Ohio.- Dominican women's lacrosse opened their Midwest road trip with a match-up against the Oilers of Findlay University Sunday afternoon. The Penguins were dominant from the first draw to the final whistle routing the Oilers 17-5.

Dominican's offense was on full display Sunday afternoon as they played with fast tempo spreading the ball around which resulted in four players posting three goals apiece. Junior Olivia Johnson got the Pengs in the scoring column first when she received a nice dish from teammate Morgan Newkirk and finished the play putting one in the back corner of the net. Dominican would go on to score four more times in the first with Johnson finding the back of the net again with one second left in the quarter. Fellow junior Taylor Pieri dimed one up to a cutting Johnson who fired one past the Oilers goalie giving them a 5-2 heading to the second.

The Pengs never trailed in this one getting things done on both ends of the field. Natalie Oyler, fresh of her MEC Defender of the Week award, showed why she's a dominant force at goalie for Dominican as she made life tough for the Oilers all day. Oyler collected three saves while also collecting three ground balls. Lusi Tapasa, the other leader for the Pengs on the back end, rattled the Oilers offense which led to a team high in caused turnovers.

Freshman Chelsea Johnson continues to make an impact for Dominican as she was one of the four who finished with three goals. Morgan Newkirk, Olivia Johnson, and Siena Fairbanks were the other three that continuously found open holes in the Oilers defense making them pay time and time again. Newkirk and Olivia Johnson not only collected three goals, but they were a force to be reckoned with in the draws department. Newkirk finished with three draw controls while Johnson secured a game high seven.

The Pengs next stop on the road is a date with Tiffin University on March. 11^th at 1 p.m. EST.
