DAVIDSON, N.C. – GW lacrosse began its conference slate at Davidson on Friday night, falling to the Wildcats, 15-10.

GW allowed just two Wildcat goals on eight shots faced in the final two quarters. Katelyn Walker, Amber Germer and Kendall Lambert scored in the third quarter to cut the Wildcat lead to six with 15 minutes remaining.

GW and Davidson endured a scoring drought for the first ten minutes of the fourth quarter until Katie Lederman potted her second of the day in the final five minutes of play.
