NEWBERG, Ore. --- The George Fox women's lacrosse team hosted Pacific (Ore.) on Saturday, Mar. 13, and won going away with a dominant 23-1 final score.

How It Happened

The Bruins cruised to a 15-0 lead at the half behind early hat tricks from DeLapp and Andrea Garcia-Milla. Julia Quist completed her hat trick after the halftime intermission, as did Madison Strickland, and the Bruins powered through and kept possession throughout the game to take the 23-1 win.
