Early start fuels Jays in NCAA women's lacrosse tournament win

Dene' DiMartino, the Blue Jays' all-time leader in draw controls, won the first draw and scored on a free-position 12 seconds later. Her teammates Josie George and Haley Schweizer won the next two draws and Schweizer and Shannon Fitzgerald converted them for a three-goal lead in just 2:07. That spurt carried the Blue Jays to a 12-10 victory over Virginia as they advanced past the first round for the second time in their 18 years as a Division I program.
