COACHES COMMENT: "The team played well today," said Calvin head women's lacrosse coach Blake Boehm. "Our transitions were much cleaner and we did better recognizing opportunities. Ohio Wesleyan did a good job switching defensive schemes so our attackers had to be on the ball with their reads. Both Jess and Meghan played well for us in net and came up with the stops we need them to make. Ohio Wesleyan's offensive game plan kept our defensve on its toes, but ultimately we settled in and tightened things up."

NEXT UP: Calvin will host the University of Chicago next Saturday at Grand Rapids Christian High School at 3:30 p.m.
