Box Score BRIGHTON, Mich. – The third-ranked Indiana Tech women's lacrosse team improved to 4-0 indoors and 2-0 at The Legacy Center with a 21-17 Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference win over Lawrence Tech on Friday.

With the win, the Warriors improve to 4-2 on the season and 4-0 in WHAC play while the Blue Devils fall to 3-6 overall and 1-5 in WHAC competition.

It was a back-and-forth beginning with Warriors getting on the board first, 15 seconds into play, as Alexa Winter scored on a pass from Autumn McMillin for a 1-0 lead. An Alyssa Melotik goal tied the score, but Kendall Guthrie found an open Alexis DiGiovanni 40 seconds later to go up 2-1. A free position shot at 23:50 tied the score again, before back-to-back goals by Guthrie and Winter, the latter on a pass from DiGiovanni, put Tech up two, 4-2. LTU got another tally from Alyssa Shaver, but then the Warriors opened it up with five unanswered goals to take a 9-3 lead. Two goals came on free position shots by Tayler Campbell and Winter, while McMillin scored an unassisted goal. The other two scores came from Lauren Allard, who was assisted by Guthrie, and Winter, who was assisted by DiGiovanni.
