BELOIT, Wis. - This afternoon the Beloit College Women's Lacrosse team hosted the Penguins of Dominican University of California. The Buccaneers (4-5, 0-1 NACC) were unable to slow down the potent offense of Dominican (3-5) and eventually fell 18-8.

After falling behind 7-1 after the first quarter, Beloit scored the first two goals of the second. Cassidy Felix (Bellflower, Calif.) fired a shot with 11:13 on the clock to bring Beloit within five. Less than a minute later Maya DeGeorge (Grand Junction, Colo.) tallied her first goal of the game to bring the score to 7-3. Over the next nine or so minutes, Dominican went on another run, rattling off four straight to widen the gap, 11-3. With under two minutes remaining in the half, McNair recorded her second goal of the game to send Beloit to the break down 11-4. 

The Penguins opened the scoring in the second half with a goal at the 12:37 mark. Fifteen seconds later, Maggie Mudd (St. Charles, Mo.) netted her first goal of the game off a pass from DeGeorge. Mudd's goal made it 12-5. Just over a minute later, it was DeGeorge again. She cut the DU lead in half, 12-6. The Bucs went nine minutes without scoring again, while the Penguins added another four goals, extending their lead to 10, 16-6. Over the final 18 minutes of action, each team would add two goals to their total. Beloit got goals from DeGeorge and McNair.
