WEST PALM, Fla. - The Life U women's lacrosse team fell in the SUN conference semifinals against #1 seed SCAD Friday afternoon. Life U fell behind early before using the second quarter to attempt a comeback.

Sainabou Foon jumped out early, but it was the Bees from there on out jumping out to a massive lead. Four different goal scorers combined for six first quarter goals while holding the Running Eagles scoreless the rest of the quarter.

Life U came out hot with Roxie Beasley scoring her first goal of the season which would soon become a hat trick. Two goals from junior Lexi Santiago pulled the Running Eagles within two. SCAD and Santiago were able to add another goal but two more goals from the Bees allowed a 9-5 lead going into the half. 

After halftime, Alyssa Curto was able to quickly get off, but shortly after SCAD was able to add two more on the board. Beasley tallied her second goal on the day before SCAD added another one to make the lead 11-7. The Running Eagle would add her third with five minutes to go in the quarter, but the Bees were not done yet and added two goals in the last two minutes going into the fourth quarter leading 14-8.  

Life U would keep SCAD scoreless the rest of the game, but Sun Conference Defensive Player of the Year decided to cross the restraining line to add on a goal herself ending the game 14-9. 

The Running Eagles return home to Marietta in hopes of earning a bid to the NAIA National Tournament.
