SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The No. 11 UIndy women's lacrosse team (2-1) dropped its first game of the season on Saturday, with the defending national champions and No. 1 Le Moyne flexing its muscles by toppling the Greyhounds, 17-5.
 
Cara Brown led the Hounds with two goals, while also picking up a pair of ground balls.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
Playing in their first game this season, the Dolphins showed no signs of rust scoring three times in the first six minutes. After a goal by Julia O'Brien soon after, Le Moyne ran the score up to 10-1 after 22 minutes of action.
 
Peyton Romig tallied an unassisted goal late in the half, as the Hounds trailed 11-2 at the break.
 
Le Moyne controlled the final 30 minutes similarly to the first, outscoring UIndy, 6-3, in the second half. Cara Brown scored twice, bookending a netter from Delaney Davidson within five minutes of each other, but that would be it for the Hounds offensively.
 
Defensively, the Hounds forced 15 Dolphins' turnovers, with Riley McClure leading the way with three causes.
 
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
Brown posted her first multi-goal game since the GLIAC tournament championship back on May 6, 2018.
 
McClure now has nine caused turnovers to start the 2019 season, recording three in each game. The junior also added two wins on the draw in the loss.
 
Le Moyne netminder Hannah George proved why she was named the IWLCA Goalkeeper of the Year last season, stopping six of the Hounds' 11 shots.
 
UP NEXT
The No. 11 Greyhounds come back home for a Tuesday evening battle from Key Stadium against first-year program, Lewis. The Flyers joined the GLIAC as an associate member prior to the 2019 season.
