The Tiffin University women's lacrosse team traveled to Allendale, Michigan on Friday, tangling with the Grand Valley State Lakers. The Lakers held a slight lead at the half, and were able to hold off a feverish TU comeback late, beating the Dragons 13-10.

TU pulled a point closer with a Morgan Sherley strike with 23:26 remaining. Every Dragon goal was countered with at least one for the Lakers for the remainder of the half, as GVSU held a 8-6 advantage at the break.

After the intermission, the Lakers quickly added two more goals to put the Dragons in a 10-6 hole. Emily Roussel was the offense for the Dragons in the 2nd half, scoring all four Tiffin goals in the half, accounting for 6 of the 10 total Dragon goals. Roussel single-handedly pulled the Dragons within striking distance late, scoring three goals in in the final five minutes, but it was too little, too late as the Lakers held on to defeat the Dragons 13-10.

Grand Valley held a 32-28 advantage in shots and an 11-9 lead in saves. The Dragons did a nice job controlling the draw, swiping 14 draw controls to the Lakers 11.
