WOMEN'S LACROSSE FALLS TO WAGNER 11-8 FRIDAY

BOXSCORE  

STATEN ISLAND, NY - The Bryant University women's lacrosse team fell to 0-4 on the season following a tough 11-8 loss at Wagner College Friday afternoon. The Bulldogs will look for their first win of the season next Thursday when they visit Howard University.

Delia Glover (Marston Mills, MA) paced the Bryant attack with three goals and an assist on the afternoon.  The Bulldogs trailed 3-0 before Lauren Albert (South Windsor, CT) netted the first of her two goals on the afternoon on a free position shot at 13:59.

Albert's goal kick-started a three-goal spurt by Bryant as Glover and Eliza Demarseilles (Branford, CT) followed with goals to knot the game up at 3-3.

Jessica Richmond put Wagner back on top by a goal with just over five minutes remaining in the half but Glover scored with 2:47 on the clock and freshman Mary Green (Merrick, NY) gave Bryant its first lead of the game with an unassisted goal just seven seconds before the break.

Leading 5-4 at the half, Bryant would open the half strong, scoring three goals to take a commanding 8-4 lead with 18 minutes left. 

But Wagner (1-3), behind three goals from Carolyn Clark and two from Melanie Garces and Cara Gonzalez, closed out the game by scoring seven-straight goals to rally for the win.  Clark's game-winner broke an 8-8 tie with 5:35 remaining while Gonzalez gave the Seahawks a two-goal lead at 10-8 with 3:46 left and Garces iced it with a goal in the final seconds.
