GREENSBORO, N.C.—The Greensboro College women's lacrosse team fell to the Falcons of Pfeiffer University, 18-6.
The Falcons were first to score, but
Murphie Davis answered back with a goal for the Pride less than three minutes later.
Senior
Natalie Ritchey then went on to score Greensboro's second goal of the game just before Pfeiffer's offense began to catch fire.
The Falcons tallied 11 unanswered goals, but the Pride refused to give in.
Ritchey found herself in a free position attempt and took advantage of the opportunity by scoring her second goal of the game. Just 11 seconds later,
Kara Whitson tacked on a goal of her own, but the Falcons pulled away once again as they took a 14-4 lead going into the half.
During the second half, Ritchey put up two more goals for Greensboro, but Pfeiffer's offense kept up their fast pace and secured the victory.
"Today was a tough game, but again, I felt we came out strong," Interim Head Coach
Jena Miller said. "We built on things from yesterday, which is exactly what I asked them to do.
"Overall it was a great team effort."
Ritchey recorded a team-high three goals, while Whitson, Davis and
Madison Blashaw tacked on one goal each.
The Pride women return to the field Saturday when they visit the Tornados of Brevard College at 2 p.m. For more information on Greensboro College women's lacrosse, continue to follow
