WESTFIELD, Ind. – The Taylor lacrosse team took the field for the second time this season, going toe-to-toe with No. 7 Saint Ambrose for nearly three full quarters before fading in a 15-5 defeat.
The SAU (2-0) squad was fresh off a 12-7 upset of No. 2 Indiana Tech one day earlier and jumped to a 5-0 lead over TU at Grand Park on Friday afternoon.
Taylor mounted a rally over the second and third quarters, using two goals from Carter Prieditis and one each from Wyatt Marshall, Reid Gerig and Holt Taylor to draw within 7-5 at the midway point of the third.
It was all Fighting Bees from there on however, as SAU finished strong with eight unanswered strikes to pull away for the 15-5 win.
Taylor (0-2) is set to take its home field next, when it hosts Midland (0-0) on Saturday, February 26 at 1:00 pm.
