Tiffin University women's lacrosse (3-2) had to overcome a slow start and a late push by Virginia State but managed to squeak by the Trojans 13-11 at home on Saturday afternoon to earn their third straight win. 

Virginia State won the opening draw control and 54 seconds into the game to take a 1-0 lead and dominated the possession for most of the opening period.  

The Dragons trailed 3-1 and then Kenna Wigginton and Caylin Kunze scored back-to-back goals over a 40-second span to tie the game going into the second quarter. Kunze scored another goal 1:40 into the second to give Tiffin a 4-3 lead and the Dragons would lead for the remainder of the game. 

After a goal by the Trojans tied the game at five, Lauren Walsh responded with a goal to put Tiffin back on top 6-5 and that remained the score going to halftime.  

Three goals over the span of 1:54 gave the Dragons their largest lead of the game of 11-6 with 5:16 remaining in the quarter. The goals were scored by Wigginton, Kunze, and Lillian Graham.  

Tiffin led 11-8 going into the fourth quarter and another goal by Graham made it 12-8 Dragons with 9:04 remaining in the game. 

Tiffin seemed to be in position to pull away, but the Trojans fought back scoring three goals to make it 12-11 with 6:12 remaining. With 4:05 left, Graham added a goal to make it 13-11 as the Dragons took advantage of a penalty by the Trojans for the UP goal. The Dragons' defense held Virginia State scoreless for the final 6:12 of the game. 

Sarah Hart got the start in goal and made two saves in 12:37 minutes. Sadie Wermuth played the remaining 47:23 and made five saves to earn her first win of the season.
