TIGERVILLE, S.C. – The Lander women's lacrosse team fell by a 21-9 margin at North Greenville on Wednesday night, despite seven combined goals from Alyssa Suchan and Emmy Peterson.

Freshman goalie Brenah Sarrell recorded 10 saves for Lander (2-2), while Grace Walters collected a team-high three ground balls. 

North Greenville (1-3) started off strong, posting five goals over the opening 5:46 before Suchan put the Bearcats on the board with 22:10 left in the first half. Lander countered with a 3-1 run, capped by Emmy Peterson's goal with 15:17 to go, but the Crusaders closed the half with a 7-1 spurt to go ahead 13-5 at the horn. 

The Bearcats could not pull closer than eight the rest of the way, despite holding the Crusaders to just two goals over the match's final 10 minutes. 

Next Wednesday, Lander makes its way to Gaffney for a matchup against No. 13 Limestone.
