Kuzava Nets Four Goals But Panthers Downed by Robert Morris

Box Score  
 
CHICAGO – Sara Kuzava scored four goals and leading scorers Tara Pluger and Taylor Balch had one but it wasn't enough as the Davenport women's lacrosse team dropped a 12-6 decision on the road to Robert Morris (Ill.) Monday evening. The Panthers, who fall to 6-4 on the year, returns home as well as to Wolverine Hoosier Athletic Conference play Wednesday to take on Siena Heights Wednesday at 4 p.m.
 
Although she took the loss, netminder Lena Henderson made a dozen saves between the pipes.
 
The Eagles (8-2) jumped on the board 2:45 into the matchup but Davenport would answer back on Balch's goal at the 22:41 mark and would take a 2-1 lead on Kuzava's first goal of the day. However the Eagles built a momentum as they would score four unanswered goals to jump ahead 5-2 with 6:03 left in the first half. Kuzava would score her second goal at 3:59 but Robert Morris added two more goals to head into intermission with a 7-3 lead.
 
Robert Morris would score four more goals nearly 12 minutes into the second period before Davenport would slowly answer back. Kuzava and Pluger would score in the span of 33 seconds midway through the half and Kuzava would complete her fourth goal at the final horn.
