Iona WLAX Falls Just Short in 7–6 Loss to Winthrop

CLARKSVILLE, TN - The Iona University women's lacrosse team dropped a tightly contested 7–6 decision to Winthrop University on Wednesday afternoon in a non-conference match-up at Morgan Bros. Field.

Iona found itself in an early hole as Winthrop surged ahead 3–0 in the opening quarter, powered by a hat trick from Christina Warren. The Gaels responded with composure in the second quarter, flipping momentum with a 4–1 run to knot the game at 4–4 heading into halftime.

The Gaels carried that energy into the third quarter, grabbing their first lead of the contest. Back-to-back goals from Sydney Langton and Calen Norton pushed Iona in front 6–4, putting pressure on the Eagles heading into the final frame.

However, Winthrop answered late. The Eagles closed the game on a 3–0 run across the final two periods, capped by the go-ahead goal from Olivia Paton with 9:36 remaining in the fourth quarter. Iona was unable to find an equalizer down the stretch, falling just one goal short.
