The Genesee Community College women's lacrosse team dropped their season opener on Sunday morning, falling to the Community College of Baltimore County- Essex 20-6.
The Lady Cougars trailed by a goal early before Anna Modera (Geneva, NY) tied the game at one with her first goal of the season. After two straight Essex goals, Arielle Lambert (Caledonia, NY) kept Genesee close with a goal to cut the Lady Knights' lead to 3-2. Essex took control from there, scoring the final 11 goals of the first half and took a 14-2 lead into halftime.
