The OU women’s lacrosse team got back on track with a 19-9 victory over Grand Valley State University on Saturday morning at Ultimate Soccer Arena in Pontiac.

The Grizzlies took control of the game early and scored the first four goals of the match, prompting a GVSU timeout which was to no avail. At halftime Oakland held a 12-3 edge.

In the second half, things started differently as the Lakers started to come alive and cut the deficit to 13-8. However, OU found their game and finished off GVSU, scoring six out of the next seven goals.

Head coach Towbey Kassa was pleased with the victory but would like to see more consistency on the field.

“I told them we had to play about 60 minutes of lacrosse, I think we played about 50,” Kassa said. “As long as they stay with it, they’ll be fine.”

With the victory, OU raises their record to 9-1. Their final home game of the season comes on Thursday night as MSU, which has been ranked in the Top 20 for most of the year, comes to Pontiac.

Following that, the women go on the road for their final three games in Illinois, and then continue on to the WCCL playoffs at the University of Toledo on April 17.
