On Tuesday night, the Alma College Women's Lacrosse team traveled to rival Albion College to take on the Britons in an MIAA contest. Albion jumped out to a quick lead and never looked back en route to a 13-7 victory over the Scots.

With the loss, Alma fell to 2-1 in the MIAA and 3-8 overall this season, while the Britons improved to 2-0 in the league and 8-1 for the 2015 season.

Albion scored three goals in 4:13 of the first half to take a 3-0 lead as the Britons' Mackenzie Novak scored a pure hat trick. The Scots responded with a goal by Sr. M Tracy Gallihugh (Lansing/Waverly) less than two minutes later and Jr. D Emily Reverman (Grand Ledge/Grand Ledge) cut the deficit to 3-2 at the 19:46 mark of the first frame.

The Britons made it a 5-2 game at 12:10 before Alma Sr. M Sydney Bryce (Lake Orion/Lake Orion) cut it to 5-3 just 15 seconds later. That is how the score would remain until Albion scored two goals in the final 56 seconds of the half to take a 7-3 advantage into the break.

The second half didn't get much better for the Scots as the Britons took a 10-3 advantage at the 20:54 mark. Alma finally broke Albion's string of five consecutive goals when So. A Kaitlyn Urick (Glen Ellyn, IL/Glenbrand West) tallied at 20:20. Jr. A Ashton Street (Brighton/Brighton) followed with a goal at 18:59 to make it a 10-5 game.

However, the hometown Britons squashed any Alma rally by scoring the next two goals - at 16:51 and 13:45 - to regain a seven goal cushion at 12-5. The Scots did not quit however, and Street tallied two more goals, at 5:22 and 1:22, to cut the deficit to 12-7 as the clock wound down on the night.

But, Alma could not get any closer and Albion added a garbage goal with just two seconds remaining to make it a 13-7 final score.

Street finished the night with three goals, three assists, eight shots on goal and four groundballs for the Scots. So. GK Miranda Kruse (Ann Arbor/Ann Arbor Pioneer) made eight saves in net for Alma in a losing effort.

Alma continues their season on Saturday when they travel to Olivet to take on the Comets. Start time is scheduled for 1:00 p.m.
