Bearcats fall to Saints in season opener

GREENWOOD – In the season opener at Van Taylor Stadium on Saturday afternoon, the Lander women's lacrosse team fell 13-5 to South Atlantic Conference-member Limestone in non-conference action.

Brooke Kelly and Kayla Smith led the Bearcats with two goals apiece while Mickey Burnett added another. Sophie Warren tallied three assists on the day.

The Saints gained a 3-0 lead midway through the opening quarter before Smith put the Bearcats on the board for the first time in 2025 via a free-position goal with 8:17 left. Limestone stretched its lead to 5-1 after 15 minutes.

Kelly cut the deficit to 5-2 two minutes into the second quarter and Burnett made it 6-3 with 6:50 to go in the half – Warren assisted on both scores.

Warren got her third helper on Kelly's second goal that made it 10-4 to open the fourth quarter. Smith closed Lander's scoring with 4:33 to play on a free-position strike.

Kaia Morey anchored the Bearcat defense with five caused turnovers and ground balls, and Autumn Huskey caused four while picking up five ground balls.

The Bearcats have a week off before welcoming Converse to Greenwood next Saturday (Feb. 8) at 1 p.m.
