DOYLESTOWN (Pa.) – Delaware Valley University women's lacrosse got six points from sophomore Susan Rawding, but it was not enough to get past visiting King's College who came away with a 17-10 Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) Freedom victory.

DelVal trailed 5-2 with 3:43 left in the first quarter before Rawding scored three goals 1:46 to tie the game at five apiece after one. Rawding netted four in the first while Kyra McKeegan, Samantha Charles, and Kiara Haywood-Rivera each earned assists.

King's scored the first three goals of the second to open up an 8-5 lead with 3:19 left in the half. The Aggies got their first of the second quarter with 92 seconds left in the stanza as they took advantage of a turnover. It was a failed clear in Monarchs territory and Rawding scooped up the ground ball and fed a wide open Kiara Haywood-Rivera in front of the net who deposited it in the net to make it 8-6.

Late in the half, Alli Lindsay found Grace Venis to get the goal back for King's as it took a three-goal lead into the halftime break.

The Monarchs outscored the Aggies, 5-0, in the third to take a 13-6 lead into the final 15 minutes of play. DelVal used a 4-1 run over the first half of the final stanza to pull within five, 15-10, but it was not enough as Venis scored twice before the end of regulation for the 17-10 final.

Rawding led the Aggies with five goals and an assist for six points while winning two draw controls. Haywood-Rivera notched four points with three goals and an assist, and Birmingham scored twice while picking up seven ground balls and six caused turnovers. McKeegan added an assist and three ground balls.

Venis finished with six goals and Burke and Lindsay each had three goals and two assist for King's. Two keepers combined for 10 saves in the win.

The Aggies will look to bounce-back on Saturday with another MAC Freedom contest at Wilkes.
