BUFFALO, N.Y. – Freshman Shianne Stokes (Mays Landing, N.J.) provided the lone goal for the Wells College women's lacrosse team in their 12-1 loss to the Mavericks of Medaille College on Sunday at All High Stadium. With the loss, Wells dips to 3-10 overall on the year while concluding their North Eastern Athletic Conference schedule with a 3-6 record. Medaille improves to 9-6 alongside a 7-2 mark in league play as they have qualified for the NEAC postseason.

Freshman Taylor Brown (Clinton, N.Y.) led the team with three ground balls while junior Marina Fargnoli (Apalachin, N.Y.) hauled in two of her team's four draw controls.

Medaille was paced by a seven point effort from Emily Brophy. She scored two goals and assisted five of her team's 12 goals in the win. Amanda Ruszczyk reeled in five ground balls while also hauling in four draw controls, equaling the cumulative output by the Express.
