BABSON PARK, Fla. (March 25, 2021) – The Webber International University women's lacrosse team dropped the final home game of its inaugural season, falling 19-2 against nationally-recognized Ave Maria University on Thursday evening on the Warrior Turf Field.

It was actually a great start to the game for Webber, which took its first lead in a game in program history when Natalie Baumgarten scored less than a minute and a half in to make it 1-0 Warriors.

Then nearly six minutes later, Kaitlyn Patterson scored to give Webber another one-goal lead up 2-1.

From there, however, Ave Maria scored twice in 11 seconds to tie it and then take its first lead with 18:11 left in the first half, which was the beginning of seven straight goals to close out the first half for the Gyrenes.

Ave Maria then held Webber scoreless in the second half and scored 11 more goals to make it an 18-0 run overall to end the game.

The Warriors recorded season-highs in shots (17), groundballs (35) and in caused turnovers (9), and allowed their fewest goals in a game so far this season.

Goalkeeper Ashley Bosch finished with a career-high 14 saves and a career-best .424 save percentage.

With the loss, Webber is now 0-4 both overall and in the Mid-South Conference, and finishes its first season 0-3 at home while Ave Maria, which is mentioned in the receiving votes category of the latest NAIA Women's Lacrosse Coaches' Poll, improved to 1-3 overall and 1-2 in the MSC.

The Warriors' final two road games of their inaugural season will be at Ave Maria at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, April 7, and then at No. 7 Life University at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, April 14.
