HANOVER, Ind. -- Playing its first of two games in two days between Indiana and Kentucky, Washington & Jefferson picked up a 12-7 women's lacrosse victory at Hanover.

The victory pushes W&J's winning streak to four games in improving to 5-4 overall and 4-0 in the Ohio River Lacrosse Conference. Hanover falls to 7-6 this season, with a 4-2 mark in league play.

The Presidents fell behind 3-0 through 7:32 of game time, but Rae LaRochelle (East Sandwich, Mass./Sandwich) figured in on the next three goals to tie the game. LaRochelle scored the first and third goals of the run and assisted on Caroline Kallos' (Reading, Pa./Governor Mifflin) woman-up goal at 17:16. The Panthers struck again to take a 4-3 lead, but the road team scored the final four goals of the opening half to hold a 7-4 lead at intermission. Four different Presidents tickled the twine during the span: LaRochelle (12:22), Katelyn White (Linthicum, Md./North County) (5:04), Monica Ewansik (Gibsonia, Pa./Pine-Richland) (2:00) and Kallos (0:50).
