The No. 7 Lindenwood women's lacrosse team lost 9-16 to the No. 3 UIndy Greyhounds on Friday afternoon in Indianapolis.

OVERVIEW

After going down 2-0 early on, Bridget Considine netted a man-down goal to get the Lions on the board. Chloe Elliott was next up to score, tying things up off a free-position goal. The Greyhounds added two more goals, and in the last minute, Natalie Gane got her first goal of the game. Logann Edlredge closed the gap even more in the last second of the first period, netting a man-up free-position goal before the whistle blew.

The Greyhounds blanked the Lions in the third, coming out of the period with four more goals under their belt. Lindenwood looked to regain their attacking presence, but UIndy took their lead and ran with it despite a tough fight from the Lions.
