St. Mary’s College of Maryland’s Women’s Lacrosse Team came out fast and scored twice in a matter of minutes. From then on, the Wolverines played from behind, and lost 19-6.

Wesley entered the April 2 game against St. Mary’s with a 2-8 record as they took the field against No. 19 St. Mary’s.

After St. Mary’s scored two quick goals, Coach LeClair of Wesley called a timeout, after which Wesley got back into the game by scoring a goal and cutting the lead down to 2.

LeClair said as the game went along it became more physical.

“Going in to the game we knew that St. Mary’s was going to be a physically demanding game from year’s past,” she said.

Two of the players that helped Wesley on the scoreboard was Bailey Olds and Fallon Fore. They both scored two points each.

“Even though it was a loss, we played well as a team,” Olds said. “I think that it gives us all more confidence going into the next games.”

After the game, goaltender Savannah Clough said St. Mary’s skills were no surprise.

“We knew going into the game that it would be tough, fast ball movement, quick feet, and fast shots,” she said. “When the game started I believe that the fast breaks was what hurt our defense.”
