BEAVER FALLS, Pa. – On a bright but chilly early-spring afternoon, the Geneva women's lacrosse team took on Thiel College, losing to the Tomcats 19-0. The Thiel offense proved to be too high-powered for the women as the GTs continue to look for their first-ever program victory here in their inaugural season, falling to 0-11 on the year. Thiel, on the other hand, continued their success, moving up to 9-2 overall with the win 3-2 in the Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC).

The Tomcats scored four times in the first four minutes of the match to gain control of the match early, and the women could not respond. Thiel was strong on the draw control all afternoon, making it difficult for the women to gain much momentum offensively. Although Geneva generated four shots on goal throughout the match, the Thiel goalkeeper managed to keep in front of them all, and Thiel came away with the victory, 19-0.

Sophomore Julianna Easley and freshman Taylor Robinson each took two shots for the GTs, and each had one on goal. Once again, freshman Madi DeRuiter was active defensively, causing four turnovers, and she was followed up by freshman Amanda Gillette, who caused three turnovers and picked up four ground balls. Sophomore Mara Fowlow also notched five ground balls in the loss, and sophomore Lexi Lee tied her career-high with 13 saves, once again getting the start in goal for Geneva.

The Golden Tornadoes remain at home for their next match, a 3:30 p.m. tilt against Washington and Jefferson on Wednesday, April 9^th.
