It’s been an up-and-down start for the Grand Valley State University women’s lacrosse two games into its spring campaign.

GVSU was challenged in its season opener at No. 14 Lindenwood University on Friday and was ultimately downed 16-10 after being outscored 7-3 in the second half. Four Lakers supplied two goals apiece in the loss.

The team bounced back in a big way on Sunday, however, as four players had hat tricks in a 21-4 win over McKendree University.

The Lakers will return to action for their home opener against Adelphi University on Friday at 7 p.m.
