Waleska, GA- The #4 St. Andrews University women's lacrosse team bounced back with a vengeance Wednesday afternoon as they rolled over the Reinhardt Eagles 16-9 to improve to 7-1 and 2-0 in the AAC.
The Knights came out on fire as they raced out to a 5-1 advantage before extending it to 9-3 two minutes before the half.
St. Andrews would then score 6 of the next 7 goals in the second half to take a nine point lead with just 8 minutes to go in the game.
The Knights, however, decided to take their foot off the gas and win by the final of 16-9.
The Lady Knights were led by junior Jackie Jones' 5 goals and 3 assists and senior Victoria Bickett's four goals. Bickett also won 9 draw controls. Senior Shana Schroeder added 2 goals while junior Catherine Lovallo also added 3 goals while sophomore Bree Thiedt was able to score her first goal of the season as well.
