Alma, MI – Alma College Women's Lacrosse was in action on Wednesday night, hosting Saint Mary's College in MIAA conference play. The Scots were defeated 8-5 on the night.
 
Saint Mary's opened the goal scoring, netting the first three goals of the game across the first quarter. With Alma trailing 3-0 after one, the Scots got on the board just over a minute into the second quarter. Sarah Bollinger scored a pair of goals in the front half of the period to get Alma back within one at 3-2.

With the score at 5-3, the visitors powered in two late goals, putting the Scots down by four heading into the final period.
