LAURINBURG, N.C. (March 9, 2019) – The Truett McConnell University women's lacrosse team traveled to St. Andrews University for another Appalachian Athletic Conference matchup. The Lady Bears (0-4, 0-3 AAC) battled the Knights (4-3, 3-2 AAC) but it was St. Andrews who came out on top in the end (9-7).

PLAY-BY-PLAY

St. Andrews was capable of finding the back of the net in the first three minutes of the game but senior Mackenzie Noggle responded with a goal on a free position shot to match it one minute later (1-1). The Knights scored four more goals the rest of the first half. Hope Foster also scored on a free position shot with five minutes to go but the Lady Bears still trailed by three at the half (2-5).

TMU rallied in the second half outscoring by one (5-4). In fact, the Lady Bears started off the half with two straight goals.
