Last Friday, the UMaine women’s lacrosse team traveled to Providence to play Brown University and New York University, a Division I team. This was the first time the team traveled out of state to compete. The first game was against NYU, and UMaine played well. Maine lost 8-3 in the second game against Brown. Defense played hard and offense was there to take it up the field at any time. Jackie Martin, Sarah Beazley and Brooke Smith-Stowell all scored. Even though Maine lost to both games, it was an accomplishment for all to make it down there to play for the first time this season.
More than half of the team had not seen the game of lacrosse and yet Maine held back many goals playing with only two substitutes. Great day by all and good luck for the rest of the season. Come support your UMaine women’s lacrosse team and watch them take Northeastern on April 28 at 1 p.m.
