COACHES COMMENT: "Today was a great way to send our seniors off," said Calvin head women's lacrosse coach Blake Boehm. "They've sacrificed so much for us over their careers and endured a lot as a result of the pandemic. It was a good solid win for our group in large part because we kept winning draws. Our shot placement was very good early on and that allowed us to take control from the start. Jessica (Camp) and our defensive unit were in sync and got the ball out of our defensive end efficiently."
