Gordon College Women's Lacrosse traveled to Worcester State University in a non-conference matchup against the Lancers, who took the 16-7 victory over the Fighting Scots this rainy afternoon. 

Leading the way for the Scots was junior Lena Larson who netted a game-high four goals. Brenna Otte, Olivia McCarrick, and Molly Guthrie each tallied one goal with McCarrick and Otte dishing out two and one assists, respectively. Hannah Bourk scooped up a team-high five ground balls in the loss. 

The Lancers were spearheaded by a trio of hat tricks from Kelly Austin (Jr./Brimfield, Mass.), Kylie Hill (So./Lunenburg, Mass.), and Madison Brennan (Fr./Pomfret, Conn.). Coley Hayes (So./Norwood, Mass.) followed with two goals of her own and four ground ball pick ups. Lauren Arbec (So./ Fairhaven, Mass.) grabbed five ground balls in the victory.
