Box Score

ANGOLA, Ind. - Calvin women's lacrosse fell short in a hard-fought conference contest against Trine in overtime with a final score of 14-13 on Saturday afternoon. 

The first quarter of action quickly started with the Knights jumping out to a 2-0 lead after goals by juniors Lainey Aldridge (Grosse Pointe Woods, MI / Grosse Pointe North) and Mekaelah McClymont (Camp Hill, PA / Covenant Christian Academy). Trine answered by tying the game at 2-2 later in the quarter. 

Both teams scored two more goals before the end of the quarter to tie it at 4-4 with Calvin's goals coming from senior Madison Brown (Granger, IN / Penn) and sophomore Kelly Ruha (Plymouth, MN / Robbinsville Armstrong). 

In the second quarter, The Thunder outscored the Knights 4-1 with senior Megan Gilbert (Lansing, MI / Holt) scoring the only goal for Calvin. Trine took an 8-5 lead over Calvin going into halftime.
