WASHINGTON, DC- The University of the District of Columbia's women's lacrosse team fell 22-7, to Molloy College, Saturday afternoon at the UDC Field. The Firebirds fell to 0-8, 0-2 in league play, and the Lions improved to 7-5, 2-0 in the ECC.
Anna Schamens, Lauryn Lopez, and Alejandra Lainez-Rodriguez led the Firebird's offense with two goals apiece. Michelle Mitchell rounded the scoring with a goal of her own and Zuleima Ulloa-Santos tallied a game-high 13 saves.
It was a very long first quarter for the Firebirds as the Lions scored 13 goals while holding them to just one. The second quarter was a different tale as the dynamic duo of Lopez and Schamens netted the first two goals for the Firebirds, with Lainez-Rodriguez following up with a goal of her own to help outscore Molloy 4-2.
Coming off the break the Lions extended their lead outscoring the home team 7-2, to secure their 22-7 victory.
UDC (0-8, 0-2 ECC) will continue conference play on Friday the 8th, hosting the University of Bridgeport at 2:00 pm. The game will be live-streamed on the ECC network.
