Women's Lacrosse: Wittenberg hands Big Red 9-6 defeat

Wittenberg got three goals from Jordan Beauchamp and outscored the Big Red 5-4 in the second quarter which was enough to hand Denison a 9-6 loss in women's lacrosse action from Springfield, Ohio.

 DU trailed 4-2 at halftime but after goals by Lindsay Howard (Lake Forest, Ill./Lake Forest) and Phoebe Myhrum (Pittsburgh, Pa./Shady Side Academy) the Big Red got to within one goal with 24 minutes to play.  That's when the Tigers went on a 3-0 run to pull away from their opponents.

Howard and Myhrum both scored two goals and had one assist apiece to lead Denison.  Caroline Gully (Barrington Hills, Ill./Barrington) and Cassedy O'Neill (Seattle, Wash./Seattle Prep) each netted a goal to round out the scoring for the Big Red.  DU did outshoot Wittenberg 28-22 but Tiger goalie Jenny Schaafsma posted 13 saves with nine coming in the second half to stymie any hopes of a Denison comeback.
