Moon Township, Pa. - The Robert Morris University women's lacrosse team battled to overtime in a first-place clash with Wagner College but fell to the Seahawks 10-9.

In overtime, the Colonials had a scoring chance on a shot by Davis that resulted in one of Katie Ferraro's nine saves. The Seahawks cashed in on a man-up opportunity when Gegan passed to Olivia Streilein right in front of the net and she scored from point blank for the win.
