Box Score KINGSTON, N.Y. - The progression of the Bard College women's lacrosse program appears to be right on schedule.

In 2010, the Raptors won one game and scored 35 goals over the course of 11 games.

In 2011, the Raptors won three games and scored 70 goals in 12 games.

After Thursday night's 18-4 win over Sage, the Raptors are 3-0 in 2012 and have scored 48 goals in those three games.

Admittedly Bard's early schedule this year is filled with other young programs - on Saturday Bard will play SUNYIT, which is in its first year of varsity women's lacrosse - and when Liberty League play starts at the end of the month, things will get much tougher.

For now, though, they're just having fun out there and enjoying some success after a couple of years worth of taking lumps.

Freshman Joanna Regan had five goals and four assists, and sophomore Brianna Bean had five goals and three assists as Bard ran past Sage. It was 8-0 after 7:26 had elapsed and 12-3 at halftime. Bard outshot Sage, 38-10, and was successful on nine of 10 clear attempts.

Freshman Reed Mango added three goals and an assist; sophomore Stephanie LaMont scored twice; seniors Kim Larie and Farah Akhtar, and sophomore Victoria Fleisher each scored once. Sophomore Maddy Huggins made five saves.

Bard's game at SUNYIT on Saturday begins at 3 p.m.

Sage, 0-3, got two goals and an assist from junior Alexa Veeder (Earlton, NY). The Gators next play at Elms College on Saturday.
