SMCM Women’s Lacrosse Stumbles against No. 25 Denison

CLEARWATER, Fla. – The St. Mary's College of Maryland women's lacrosse team faced their fourth nationally-ranked opponent of the season Thursday evening (Mar. 14).

  • St. Mary's College won the third quarter, 3-1, as midfielders Grace Lintz (Towson, Md./Towson) and Madison Laine (Kingsville, Md./Mercy) and junior attacker Hailey Betch (Severna Park, Md./Severna Park) each found the back of the net to cut the deficit to 14-7 heading into the fourth frame.
 
  • The Big Red briefly sparked a running clock with a 3-0 start to the fourth but senior captain MC Mortimer (Baltimore, Md./Friends) and Laine quickly halted it with back-to-back goals in a 40-second span to make it 17-9 with 5:30 left in the game.
