MEADVILLE, Pa. – The Allegheny women's lacrosse team opened the home portion of their 2025 season Wednesday (Feb. 26) against Mount Union, falling to the Raiders 17-7.
 
The first quarter belonged to the Raiders as they scored 11 unanswered goals. The lead grew to 12-0 before the Gators got on the board in the second quarter. On a free-position attempt, Ema Caragein (Pittsburgh, Pa./Seton LaSalle) found the back of the net. Kendall Cox (Silver Spring, Md./Albert Einstein) took advantage of an extra player opportunity, scoring a second goal for the Gators, but the team trailed 13-2 at the half.

Late in the quarter, Caroline Smith (Colorado Springs, Colo./Liberty) scored on a free-position goal as the Gators trailed 15-4 heading into the final frame.
