Avenging Angels Drop Nonconference Matchup to Rhodes

RALEIGH, N.C. – The Meredith College lacrosse team battled early but ultimately fell to Rhodes College, 22–12, on Tuesday afternoon at home. 

The Avenging Angels kept the contest tight through the first three quarters and even pulled even midway through the third period before Rhodes used a strong fourth quarter to pull away.

Game Highlights

Rhodes struck first, but Meredith quickly responded with a goal from Kenzie Todd to even the score early in the opening quarter. The Lynx built a 3–1 lead before Meredith answered with back-to-back man-up goals from Reese Walker and Todd, tying the game 3–3 at the end of the first quarter.
