DANVILLE, Ky. – Coming up on the Southern Athletic Association Tournament next weekend, the Centre women's lacrosse team (8-8, 2-4 SAA) first needed to take on Sewanee for the regular season finale on Saturday afternoon. The Colonels would honor their senior trio of Lola Duff, McKenna Hulette and Sloan Reding prior to the start of the contest, but would eventually fall to the Tigers on a final score of 24-11.
 
GAME HIGHLIGHTS
- Sewanee would kick off the game with the first score, but not before Hulette would respond with a excellent toss from Lily Gahm to bring the game back to evens with less than 2 minutes of action played.
- The Tigers would start their momentum with a five-goal run in a span of four minutes, pushing the lead to five in the first period.
- The Gold and White would trade blows with Sewanee throughout the rest of the first period, closing the lead to four after Madeleine Longmeyer found an open look from Isa Stumpf to score with 19 seconds left in the period. Ella Treinen would have two scores of her own during the stretch as well.
- The two teams would continue to go back-and-forth in the second period until the Colonels found three-straight goals to go into halftime. Their three-goal deficit was minimized by the works of Hulette, along with a goal from Emma Botts in a man-up situation.
- The Tigers came out with the aggression in the second half, putting up seven-straight goals across almost 10 minutes of action to extend their lead to 12.
