WASHINGTON, Pa. (April 1) – The Waynesburg University women's lacrosse team traveled to Washington & Jefferson College for an Ohio River Lacrosse Conference match on Wednesday at Alexandre Stadium. The home-standing Presidents seized an early advantage by scoring four of the game's first five goals, and the Yellow Jackets ultimately fell 16-7.
 
Waynesburg (3-5, 1-3) scored less than three minutes in, when senior Kelly Mehal netted her ninth goal of the season to give the Yellow Jackets an early 1-0 lead. Washington & Jefferson (5-2, 3-0) responded with four different players scoring goals over the next eight minutes to take a 4-1 advantage. Another four-goal surge later in the period helped the Presidents expand the margin to 9-4 at halftime.
 
Following the break, Waynesburg managed to trim the deficit to four, but could not get any closer to erasing the gap, as W&J registered six of the final seven goals of the match.
 
Junior Mikayla Vidosh and sophomore Holly Bachman each collected hat tricks for the visitors. Vidosh currently leads the team with 26 goals on the season, while Bachman ranks second with 22 tallies. Senior goalkeeper JoHanna Phillips made 12 saves in net for Waynesburg.
 
Wednesday's setback at W&J marked the final road contest for Waynesburg in 2015. The final six matches for the Yellow Jackets will be held at John F. Wiley Stadium in Waynesburg, beginning with a meeting with Hanover College on Saturday, April 4. Start time versus the Panthers is scheduled for 12 p.m.
