Newport News, Va. -- The 23rd-ranked University of Lynchburg's women's lacrosse team fell on the road Wednesday to No. 25 Christopher Newport, 17-4.

CNU jumped out to an early lead with a pair of goals in the first 2:05 of the game and extended the run to 9-2 at halftime. The Captains put the game away with the first four goals of the second half.

Graduate student Kelsi Trevisan led the Lynchburg attack with a goal, an assist, and three caused turnovers. Nicki Santora, Alla Daniel, and Maysn Whitten also scored for the Hornets.
