The St. Ambrose women's lacrosse team honored four seniors on Saturday afternoon - Katie Baranski, Allison Claus, McKenna Curzon, and Erin Green - before their game against Benedictine College. The No. 4 Ravens proved to be too much for the Bees as they suffered their first defeat of the year falling 16-4. BC moves to 8-1 overall and 8-0 in the KCAC while SAU is now 8-1 overall and 5-1 in conference.

SAU got back on the board with 4:36 left when Lauren Hoesly found Delaney Austad for the man-up goal. BC would get a goal from Grace Simonson with 1.4 seconds left to take an 8-2 halftime lead.

The Ravens would score the first goal of the second half to up their lead. BC then scored five goals in three minutes and 30 seconds to take a 14-2 lead with 16:07 left. Aidan McEnerney scored her fifth goal for the Ravens seven minutes later. The Bees would get on the board in the second half with just 6:58 remaining after McKenna Sears scored a free position goal. Morgan Curzon would score a man-up goal with the assist coming from senior Baranski to cut the lead to 15-4 with 4:24 left. Benedictine would tally one more goal to account for the final score.
