Comeback Comes Up Short as Women's Lacrosse Falls in CCIW Semis

Titans finish season 10-3

WAUKESHA, Wis. - The Illinois Wesleyan University women's lacrosse team saw its season come to an end with an 11-5 loss to second-seeded Carroll University in the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin Tournament semifinals Wednesday night, April 28. The Titans mounted a second-half comeback, but could not overcome an early deficit.

Illinois Wesleyan spotted Carroll an 8-0 lead at halftime. The Pioneers expanded their lead to double-digits with a pair of quick scores in the second half, before senior Maggie Torres (Chicago, Ill.-Resurrection Prep) broke the shutout. 

Carroll responded with a goal two and a half minutes later to move ahead, 11-1. 

With time ticking down, junior Bridget O'Malley (Chicago, Ill.-Marist) scored with 11:54 to play to pull IWU back within nine, 11-2. Torres followed with her second goal of the game, this time scoring on an assist from fellow senior Riley Rooney (St. Charles, Ill.-St. Charles East). 

Illinois Wesleyan added goals by junior Landry Elliott (Milwaukee, Wis.-Nicolet) and Rooney, but the Titans comeback effort ran out of time as IWU fell 11-5.

In addition to her two goals, Torres tallied team-highs of six ground balls and five caused turnovers. Senior Janaye Godfrey (Portland, Ore.-Lincoln) made six saves in goal, while sophomore Rebecca Rymarcsuk (Lake Zurich, Ill.-Lake Zurich Senior) added four.

With the loss, the Titans ended the season with a 10-3 overall record and saw the careers of Torres, Rooney, Godfrey, Anna Peters (Lake Oswego, Ore.-Lakeridge), and Hannah Foley (Elk Grove Village, Ill.-Conant) come to an end.
