The Colgate women's lacrosse team fought hard but ultimately fell to Holy Cross with a score of 17-13. After a slow start trailing 6-1, Colgate rallied to close the gap thanks to standout performances from Ella Bishara and Aubrey McMahon, who each contributed significantly to the scoring effort. Despite their resilience and some key defensive stops, the Raiders couldn't quite overcome the deficit as Holy Cross maintained their lead throughout the game.
