SPARTANBURG, S.C.—The High Point University women's lacrosse team picked up their first road win of Big South play on Saturday (April 2) afternoon. Abby Hormes led the way with seven goals and three assists while Pia Cavallaro scored five goals.
Coach Lyndsey Boswell: Any time you can get your full team on the field in a game, it's a great day! I'm excited to get this conference win under our belt as we take what we've learned the past few weeks and move forward. Abby took control of the draw with Emma and gave us opportunities on offense that were converted early in the game. We still have work to do as we strive to play our best brand of lacrosse, but today brought us one step closer.
