BOSTON, Mass. - Women's lacrosse hosted NEWMAC rivals Salve Regina on Wednesday evening in the Lions' last match-up of the season.
The stakes were different for both teams - Emerson had already been eliminated from playoff contention, but were looking to cap the season on a high note with a win; meanwhile, a win for the Seahawks would secure a spot as one of the lower seeds in their first NEWMAC Championship tournament.
In the end, Salve propelled themselves to victory by outscoring their hosts 7-2 in the second quarter and 6-0 in the fourth. Emerson concludes their season at 5-10 (2-8 NEWMAC), while the Seahawks head to the postseason at 11-6 (5-5 NEWMAC) and in possession of the No. 7 seed in the conference tournament.
