ST. DAVIDS, Pa. — Eastern University Women's Lacrosse saw its three-game winning streak stopped with a 21-3 home loss to the Widner University Pride (7-4, 1-0) in the MAC commonwealth opener for both teams. Gracie Horton scored twice and Tori Benjamin made 17 stops in the loss.

After Widner scored the first two goals of the contest, the Eagles (4-5, 0-1) got a nice finish on the crease from Horton off a feed from Morgan Wallace. The Pride controlled possession for much of the remainder of the half and built a 10-2 lead at the break. Horton scored a free-position goal to open the second period, but that shot was one of only three for the Eagles in the frame. Widener finished the first half with a 26-7 edge in shots and a 20-4 edge in shots on goal. Benjamin made seven stops in the second period. 

While the Eagles have been clearing well and playing teams level on the draw through the early part of the year, the Pride held the Eagles to 6-of-20 on clears and finished with a 14-11 edge in draws.

Natalia Willoughby, who finished with five draw controls, added Eastern's final goal ona. feed from Wallace.

The Eagles will host No. 7 York next Wednesday.
