Kicking off their 2025 campaign on the road today, Gordon College Women's Lacrosse visited the Clark University Cougars on their home turf where Clark came out with the 19-8 win.

For the Fighting Scots, Kaitlyn Mini recorded four goals and two helpers, Caroline Piorkowski found the back of the net three times and dished out a pair of assists, Marializ Lopez contributed one goal.

Clark's Erin Lucas netted five goals and handed out as many assists, Elizabeth Cacciapaglia had four assists while scoring three goals, and Aubrey Conners tacked on four goals.

How It Happened

• The Cougars came out of the gates hot, rattling off three straight goals to go on top, 3-0 just five minutes after the opening draw. Mini answered back to put her squad on the board before Clark tacked on another (4-1). However, Mini was not done finding the back of the net two more times to bring the score to 5-3 with 2:57 left in the quarter. With six seconds to go, Piorkowski made it a one-score game after a man-up goal by the senior (5-4).
• In the second, the home team started off with a pair of goals to widen the gap to 7-4, but Piorkowski knocked in her second of the half at the 9:56 mark (7-5). Scoring her fourth of the frame, Mini ripped in a pass from Piorkowski to once again make it a one-goal game at halftime.
• After the break, the Cougars continued to put pressure on the Scots' defense scoring five in the third and seven in the fourth to claim the win.
