LATROBE, Pa. -- The Presidents trailed, 7-6, at halftime, but were outscored 10-2 in the second half in a 17-8 loss at Saint Vincent.

With the defeat, Washington & Jefferson falls to 8-4 overall and 6-2 in the Ohio River Women's Lacrosse Conference. Saint Vincent remains atop the league standings at 8-0 and 11-6 on the year.

Ashley Bulger and Alex Dikos each scored hat tricks to pace the Presidents on the afternoon. ORWLC and ECAC Division III Mid-Atlantic Defensive Player of the Week Caroline Kallos collected a goal and three assists. Dikos (five) and Kallos (four) combined for nine of W&J's 11 draw controls, and Kallos picked up a game-high four ground balls.

W&J twice held the lead in the first half, 3-2 and 4-3, but after a Bulger goal at 11:16 in the opening frame tied the game at 5-5, the Presidents never reclaimed the lead.

The hosts used a 31-17 shot advantage in the match, including 27-12 on goal.

Kelsey Roetenberg made 10 saves in the loss.

W&J wraps up the inaugural ORWLC season with a 1 p.m. match against Transylvania (Ky.) on Sunday, April 19.
