The University of Pennsylvania women's lacrosse team faced a tough loss against #5 Yale, falling 7-4 in a closely contested game. Yale secured their victory by scoring five consecutive goals between the second and third quarters, improving to 5-0 in the Ivy League. Goalkeeper Orly Sedransk delivered a notable performance with 11 saves, but it wasn't enough to overcome Yale's defense.

By the Numbers
  • Orly Sedransk made 11 saves out of 18 shots faced, marking her seventh double-digit save game this season.
  • Yale scored five unanswered goals across the second and third quarters.
State of Play
  • Penn started strong, leading 3-1 after the first quarter but could not maintain momentum.
  • Yale鈥檚 defense tightened dramatically, holding both teams scoreless for extended periods, ultimately leading to their victory.
What's Next

Penn will play its final regular-season road game against Cornell on April 18, where they will aim to improve their overall record and regain momentum in the league.

Bottom Line

The Quakers' strong defensive effort, highlighted by Sedransk's performance, wasn't sufficient to overcome a top-ranked Yale team. Future games must focus on sustaining offensive pressure to compete effectively against strong opponents.
