The Shippensburg University women’s lacrosse team lost this Saturday in a road match against Seton Hill University. In the end, Seton Hill walked away victorious 15-8. The snowy and frigid conditions of Saturday’s match made it difficult for both teams to compete.
The SU Raiders (3-9, 0-8 PSAC) held its own until it fell behind by two goals before the half, 5-3. SU then went on to make 4 of its last goals in the final ten minutes of the game. However, the effort was not enough, as the win, and ten more goals slipped away.
Sophomore offensive attack player, Allison Fugate, put the Raiders on the scoreboard with a goal nine minutes into the game. Four minutes later, Amanda Frank scored with an assist from Freshman Maggie Lawshe with 1:56 remaining before halftime.
