Ashland University's women's lacrosse team maintained its spot in first place in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference following a 16-2 win over Malone on Saturday (April 12) afternoon at Ferguson Field.
The Senior Day victory puts the Eagles at 10-5 overall and 6-0 in the Great Midwest – and gives AU a second consecutive double-digit win campaign (program-record 11 wins in 2024). Ashland has won seven of its last eight outings.
Malone is 10-7, 3-4.
