COLLEGEVILLE, Pa. – The Ursinus Women's Lacrosse team was unable to overcome a second half surge from Cabrini as they dropped a 16-11 contest to the Cavaliers on Saturday afternoon in non-conference action at Patterson Field.
 
 
Cabrini won the first draw control and scored on its opening possession of the game to take the initial 1-0 lead before the Bears ran off three straight tallies. Sophomore Julia McCann tied the game at the 13:04-mark off a feed from junior Grace Lynch before Lynch tallied one of her own just under a minute later to give Ursinus a 2-1 lead. Junior Maeve Leonzi capped the run with a free position shot goal at the 8:31-mark. Cabrini answered with a free position shot goal of their own that was countered by goals from Lynch and Leonzi that made it 5-2 Bears at the 6:10-mark. The Cavaliers added another free position shot goal that made it a 5-3 game, but Ursinus got another back-to-back goal scoring to go up 7-3. Noto scored at the 4:17-mark and first-year Jaime Michaud converted a free position shot goal 40 seconds later. Cabrini took advantage of a Bears turnover to score a goal in the waning seconds of the first quarter that made it 7-4. Leonzi got the scoring in the second quarter going at the 11:44-mark with her third of the game to put the Bears up 8-4. Cabrini made it 8-5 from another free position shot goal to only be countered by Leonzi on a woman-down situation with five minutes left in the second quarter to put Ursinus up 9-5. However, the tide began to turn when Cabrini closed the quarter with three straight goals to make it 9-8 headed into the break.
 
 
McCann took advantage of a woman-up situation to put the Bears up 10-8 at the 10:45-mark. Unfortunately for the Bears, Cabrini reeled off eight straight goals while not letting up another for a span of just over 21 minutes to pull away for the win.
 
 
Cabrini held a 35-27 shot advantage for the game behind out-shooting the Bears 22-8 in the second half while holding a 24-17 edge in shots on goal. The Bears held a slight edge in ground balls at 26-24 and the Cavaliers held a 17-14 advantage in draw controls. Sophomore goalkeeper Camille Hubbs made six saves in the full 60 minutes while Abbey Fenton tallied eight stops for Cabrini in that span. Noto led Ursinus with a team-high five points behind four assists and one goal while Leonzi scored a team-high four goals. Olivia Little filled up the scoresheet for the Cavaliers with eight points off five goals and three assists while snatching a staggering 13 draw controls and causing four turnovers.
