Box Score The Lindenwood field hockey team lost Saturday afternoon 8-3 to No.1 and defending national champions West Chester.  This was the second game in back-to-back days for the Lady Lions against two of the top teams in NCAA Division II.

West Chester opened up the scoring with a goal at the 13-minute mark of the first half, and followed that up with two more quick goals. This left the score at 3-0 just under 19 minutes into the game.

Lindenwood bounced back in the second half with a Kristi O'Connor goal a minute into the second half.  The Lady Lions would concede a goal to make the score 5-1.

O'Connor answered back for Lindenwood with her second score on the afternoon followed up with a goal from Carly Brengosz cutting the score to 5-3. The defending champs proved to be too much, however, adding three goals late in the match.

Next up for the Lady Lions is a road test against Bellarmine University Sept. 13 in Louisville, Ky.
