The Greensboro College women’s lacrosse team (0-6 overall) gave unbeaten Marymount (4-0 overall) all it could handle on Sunday, but fell in the end by a score of 15-8.
The Saints appeared to be in control from the beginning, racing out to an 7-1 first half lead. The Pride fought back, outscoring Marymount 4-1 down the stretch to head into the break trailing 8-5.
Brittany Ziobro scored two first half goals, with Alexa Besch, Kirstin Norris and Nadya Fedun also finding net.

The Saints extended the lead back to 10-7 before Micaela Sandoval beat the goalie to close the deficit to 10-8 with 15:15 to play. That was as close as The Pride would get, as Marymount put the next five goals on the board en route to the 15-8 win.

Ziobro tied for a game high three goals with Fedun contributing two. Ziobro also picked up a team best three ground balls. Five different players each recorded one caused turnover apiece.
