RADNOR, Pa. – The University of Scranton women's lacrosse team scored three straight goals midway through the second half to cut its deficit in half, but could not keep the momentum in a 13-7 loss to Cabrini on Wednesday evening at Dixon Field.
Scranton (6-8) received two goals from sophomore midfielder Meghan Kerr (Warwick, N.Y./John S. Burke Catholic) and a goal and an assist from freshman midfielder Erin Pfail (Garden City, N.Y./Sacred Heart Academy).
Cabrini (12-7) scored three straight goals early in the game to take a 3-1 lead and scored the final three goals of the half to take a 7-4 lead into the break after Scranton had pulled even on a goal by freshman midfielder Kailyn Angelo (West Chester, Pa./Villa Maria Academy).
