Meadville, PA- Travelling to Pennsylvania to take on Allegheny, the Oberlin's women's lacrosse team fell behind early against the Gators. Overcome by the Allegheny offense, the Yeowomen lost 22-12 behind an otherwise stellar day for senior Bette Imhoff. The captain put up seven points highlighted by six goals as the Crimson and Gold move to 4-7 on the season and 0-2 in NCAC action.
 
The New Hampshire native not only led the offense but also paved the way for the defense with a team-high four ground balls and five caused turnovers. Izzy Sunday was the only other player to score in double digits with three goals and adding a pair of ground balls to the affair. In cage, Logan McDermott-Mostowy made seven saves in the first half before Sophia Ferrantelli stepped in for another five saves in half two.
 
The Gators got going right off the first draw, putting away two goals in the first two minutes. Oberlin responded with a pair of their own, coming off the sticks of Emily Shimabukuro and Imhoff. The Yeowomen were unable to score again until the final :35 when Ellie Jensen found Imhoff for a goal. The second quarter was much more balanced with the two teams swapping goals early, but with four-straight goals coming from Allegheny, Oberlin found themselves down 14-7 at the half.
 
Oberlin struggled to find offensive momentum in the second half but finally gave way to an Imhoff goal at the 7:20 mark. The home team responded with another four goals to give them a double-digit lead. Faced with a running clock, Oberlin's Abigail Patchen fed a pass to Sunday to stop the clock and narrow the lead to nine. Although moving with a sense of urgency, the Yeowomen were unable to fill the deficit and ultimately fell to Allegheny 22-12.
 
The Yeowomen look ahead now to a date with reigning conference champions, #24 Denison this coming Saturday, April 16. The away game will take place at 3pm with a live stream available here, and live stats available here.
