Blues Come Up Short To George Fox In Battle of NWC Heavyweights

NEWBERG, Ore. - In a battle of the top teams in the Northwest Conference, the Whitman College women's lacrosse team came up short to George Fox in a 21-9 loss to the Bruins on Saturday afternoon.

The loss gives the Bruins (14-1, 11-0 NWC) the NWC regular season title and Whitman (12-4, 9-2 NWC) effectively the No. 2 seed heading into next weekend's postseason tournament, the first in conference history.

Madeleine Sherry and Gracie Maulik shared team-high honors in scoring three goals. Teagan Huff scooped up a game-high seven groundballs.

George Fox was led by Olivia Geyling's game-high four goals and four assists. Four others netted three goals each.

Korin Wheaton posted 13 saves in a solid outing for the Blues with Emma Webb recording seven saves in goal for the Bruins.

The game started auspiciously for the Blues who only trailed by two goals after the opening quarter. Goals by Erin Magnuson and Maulik helped erase an early two-goal deficit. Magnuson again tied the game with 6:28 to play and Maulik did the same with 3:05 remaining. George Fox's Kyra Barnes scored two goals inside of the final two minutes to give the Bruins a 6-4 lead heading to the second quarter.

The second and third quarters belonged to the Bruins who outscored the Blues 11-2 over that stretch. Whitman played George Fox nearly even in the fourth quarter but the double-digit deficit was too much to overcome.

The Blues close the regular season on Sunday at Willamette at 1:00 p.m.
