Northwestern attacker Izzy Scane breaks NCAA record for career women’s lacrosse goals
EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) — Northwestern attacker Izzy Scane broke the Division I record for women’s lacrosse goals on Sunday in the NCAA Tournament.
Scane scored her 359th career goal in 81 games in the first period against Denver, snapping a tie with Charlotte North for the top spot. North had 358 goals in 87 games for Boston College and Duke from 2018-22.
Scane, who grew up in Michigan, finished with five goals and an assist in Northwestern’s 17-4 victory. She has 75 goals and 18 assists in 18 games this season.
Scane and the Wildcats are going for the school’s second straight national championship and No. 9 overall for the vaunted program. As the No. 1 overall seed in the tournament, they received a bye into the second round.
It was Northwestern’s third victory over Denver in less than a year. The Wildcats beat the Pioneers 15-7 in the national semifinals on May 26 and then won 14-10 in a March 8 rematch.
