TOWSON, Md. – A day later but certainly not a dollar short, the No. 19 Towson University women's lacrosse team used a big scoring to top visiting Georgetown 21-13 Sunday afternoon at Johnny Unitas ® Stadium.

Towson (2-0) senior midfielder Emily Gillingham finished with a game-high eight points thanks to seven goals and one assist. Carly Tellekamp and Kaitlin Thornton joined in the hat trick club, with the latter added three assists to her day.
 
Georgetown (1-1) was led by four goals from Taylor Gebhardt. Michaela Bruno (1g, 3a) and Emily Ehle (1g, 3a) also had four-point afternoons.
