PEPPER PIKE, Ohio -- The Lake Erie women's lacrosse team took on Ursuline College on Saturday afternoon, earning their second victory of the season in a 13-2 win. After the first period, the Arrows led 2-1, but in the second period, the visiting Storm turned it up a notch, scoring seven unanswered goals to take a big lead into halftime. From there, LEC kept the clamps on defensively, holding Ursuline scoreless the rest of the way while continuing to add onto their lead. Ultimately, the Storm cruised to victory, earning their first conference win of the season.

After the Arrows got six shots off in the opening period, LEC locked in defensively and limited them to just six more over the final 45 minutes.

Seven players scored for the Storm: Claire Varvel (3), Brooke McNeal (3), Lakelyn Joslin (2), Reese Friesen (2), and Lainey Davis, Abby Neugebauer, and Gabriella Adie each with one. For Varvel, the three goals mark a career high for the freshman. McNeal now has 27 on the season, the most on the team, and is closing in on the G-MAC top-10.
