Despite a game-high seven points from junior Kimberly Loucks (Waterloo, NY), the Clarkson University Women’s Lacrosse team lost 14-10 at Rensselaer in Liberty League action on Friday afternoon in Troy, NY.

Loucks tallied four of her game-high six goals in the first half, including the opening score just 1:35 into the contest, but RPI (5-2, 2-3) connected for the last three goals of the stanza to take a 9-6 advantage into intermission. The Engineers tallied the first four goals of the second half and then held off a Golden Knight rally late in the game to gain the victory.

Senior Emily Bojarski (Syracuse, NY) scored three goals and assisted on another for a four-point effort. Freshman Laura Barlow (Latham, NY) rounded out the Clarkson goal scorers with one tally. Senior Alyssa Breed (Macedon, NY) set up three scores by the Green and Gold.

Stephanie Caouette led RPI with four goals.

The Engineers enjoyed a significant advantage in shots, 37-19, and held a slim edge in ground balls, 17-12.

Freshman Hannah Walters (Amherst, NY) continued her steady play in the Clarkson goal with nine saves.

Loucks and sophomore Meghan Cleason (Canandaigua, NY) led the Knights in ground balls with three each.

Clarkson (3-7, 0-4) will look to break out of a six-game losing skid when it plays at Vassar in a 2:00 p.m. game on Saturday.
