HOBOKEN, NJ – The Alfred University women's lacrosse team was on the road at Stevens Institute of Technology on Saturday. The Saxons (1-6, 0-2 Empire 8) fell to a tough Ducks team by a score of 20-1.
 
AU went down 17-0 by the end of the first half before buckling down in the second half and allowing just 3 goals in the final 30 minutes.
 
The Saxons broke through in the scoring column with around nine minutes to play in the second half when Taylor Miller (Medina, NY/Medina) scored her eighth goal of the season.
 
Paige Rowlee (Fulton, NY/G. Ray Bodley) played the entire game in goal and ended with five saves.
 
"We had difficulty staying organized in the first half, but I am pleased with the adjustments we were able implement in the second half," Head Coach Erin McGaffigan said. "We always see great lacrosse from Stevens, and we're heading into a small break with some solid notes. Overall, this trip has been a great success, with a large focus on team time and I am very happy with the progress and growth we have achieved so far."
 
Alfred will be on the road again next Saturday as they head to Utica College for a matchup with the Pioneers at 1PM.
