The Eastern University Women's Lacrosse team is scheduled to leave for Costa Rica at 4:00 am on Saturday. In retrospect, the Eagles might have liked to have scheduled that trip for twelve and a half hours earlier after a disappointing 16-6 home loss to Ursinus College. Jessie Basch scored three goals and registered an assist in the loss.

The visiting Bears jumped to an 8-1 lead in the opening fourteen minutes of the game. Basch then scored on a nice pass from Katie Choquette to slow the Bears down momentarily. Erin Fries and Basch scored the last two goals of the half to answer another pair of Ursinus goals, and the Eagles went to the break trailing 10-6. 

The second half did not get better for the Eagles as Elizabeth Cannon scored all three of her goals after the break to help the guests to a ten goal edge. Cannon finished the day with three goals and four assists. Lindsay Urban and Kristin Wampole each scored three times for the visitors as well.

Eastern will be in Costa Rica until Sunday March 8th. They will return to action at home against Arcadia University on Thursday March 12th
