LEXINGTON, Va. – A big first half for #2 Washington & Lee was the difference, as the Bridgewater College women's lacrosse team fell 16-4 to W&L on Wednesday.

The teams each scored four times in the second half, but the second-ranked hosts raced out to a 12-0 halftime lead.

Senior Claire Palermo-Re assisted on Anna O'Hara's goal in the second half, making her the second Eagle ever with 100 career assists and putting her two shy of the school's career record.

Dwyer Neal got the Eagles on the board with a free position shot, with the Generals ahead 13-0 by that point.

Jacqueline DiFulvio and Sarah Yashinskie also tallied late in the game for Bridgewater.

Junior Kayla O'Sullivan had game-highs with two caused turnovers and four ground balls.

W&L got four goals and an assist from Hayley Soutter, and one goal and four assists from Cordelia Peters. Haley Tucker won eight draw controls.
