No. 7 Women's Lacrosse Moves on to the Round of 16

LEXINGTON, Va. - The seventh-ranked Generals of Washington and Lee University advanced to the NCAA DIII Women's Lacrosse Tournament's round of 16 after a 17-7 win over Rhodes College on Sunday afternoon. 

Leading 8-4 at the end of the first half, the Blue and White (17-3) used a six-goal run to open up the second half of play.

Trailing 14-4 at the 3:38 mark, Anna Erskine was able to find the back of the net twice for Rhodes in the last 2:14 of the third period to halt the running clock and bring WLU's advantage back down within eight scores. 

W&L outscored RC 3-1 in the fourth and brought the game back to a ten-goal differential to wrap up the afternoon's action.
