ASHLAND, Va. -- Randolph fell today, 18-7, in conference play this afternoon, despite closing both halves well.

Junior Taylor Riccardi and senior Taylor Klevenz each had three goals for the WildCats in the affair.

Randolph-Macon got off to a hot start, scoring the first four goals of the contest.

Riccardi and Klevenz followed with consecutive goals for the WildCats to halve that lead.

After the Yellow Jackets went on another 4-0 spurt, sophomore Alyssa Umberger forced Randolph-Macon's defense into some trouble with her pressure on a loose ball near the crease.

When the dust settled, an own goal was charged against Randolph-Macon as Umberger caused a Yellow Jacket defender to put the ball into her own net.

After a R-MC spurt, Klevenz and Riccardi contributed consecutive goals once again to end the half.

In the second half, both Klevenz and Riccardi completed their hat tricks, with Klevenz scoring the final goal of the game.

Senior Samantha Fagone, who is third in the nations in saves per game, made 11 stops.

Randolph is next in action Tuesday at Shenandoah next.
