Lynchburg, Va. -- The University of Lynchburg women's lacrosse team took down Southern Virginia 20-5 on Tuesday evening. The Hornets scored their most goals since posting 28 against Guilford in the 2021 ODAC Quarterfinals.

The Knights won five straight draw controls and scored four straight goals with two coming from the eight-meter arc. After Reagan Bradley scored to stop the bleeding, the Hornets ripped off 18 consecutive goals. 11 Hornets in total scored, Virginia Heffernan tied Dumas for the team lead with four ground balls, and five Hornets, including Dumas and Heffernan, caused two turnovers. Taylor Daugherty led the team with three draw controls. Corinne West earned her second career win after making four saves.
