Oberlin, Ohio – On a chilly day in Northeast Ohio, the Oberlin women's lacrosse team fell to Ohio Wesleyan in a hard fought match-up 26-14.

The first half of the game was an attackers dream as the two sides combined for a barrage of 25 goals. Ohio Wesleyan held solid advantage though as they found the net on fifteen occasions before the break. First-year Ilyssa Meyer led the Oberlin attack in the first frame with three goals, good enough to secure her second career hat trick.

In the second half Oberlin simply could not slow down the attack from the visiting Bishops. The road team posted eleven second half goals including five of the first six to stretch their lead to 20-11 with just over twenty minutes left to play. Oberlin would score four more times, but it was not enough as they fell by a score of 26-14.

Sophomore midfielder Alice Zicht led Oberlin in scoring on the day, tying a season best with five goals. Lori Sako and Grace Amber each netted a pair of goals for the Yeowomen; and first-year Molly Bloom added a goal and three assists to increase her team leading season points total to 40.

With the loss, Oberlin falls to 3-9 overall and is still looking for their first conference victory. They will attempt to break into the NCAC win column on Tuesday when they travel to The College of Wooster for a 4:30 pm contest.
