Georgetown, TX - The Piedmont College women's lacrosse team started off their trip to the Lone Star State facing off against Wittenberg University where the Lady Lions fell 12-9 despite a highlight performance from freshman ROWAN BUMPASS.

The Tigers started quickly going on an early four goal run in the opening six minutes of the game. ROWAN BUMPASS would start the scoring for PC with just over 23 minutes in the half followed quickly by a goal from fellow freshman DOMONIQUE STEELE. 

Three more goals for Wittenberg would extend their lead to 7-2 in the closing five minutes of the first half. Senior JENNA SMITH would steal the momentum back for the Lady Lions scoring back-to-back goals to close out the half with PC trailing 7-4.

The Tigers would come back after the break with two goals coming with less than a minute in between extending their lead to 9-4. Smith found Bumpass twice in a row to close the gap with Piedmont trailing 9-6 with under 15 to play, but both teams would score three more before the final buzzer as the Tigers edged out the Lady Lions 12-9.
