FRANKLIN, Ind. – The Franklin College women's lacrosse team wrapped up their regular season on Saturday (Apr. 30) afternoon with a matchup against the Anderson Ravens at Faught Stadium.

Junior Victoria Simmons became the program's single-season and all-time assist record holder on her way to a six-point afternoon. Baleigh Riddle hammered home five goals and Anya Glodowski racked up eight points as the Grizzlies (5-8, 4-2 HCAC) pulled away late for an 18-11 win.

How it Happened
Simmons opened the scoring just seven seconds into the game and Riddle added to the lead less than two minutes later. The Ravens would come right back and tie the game late in the first quarter before Glodowski netted her first of the day to tie things at 4-3 after 15 minutes.

With the score locked at six late in the first half, Franklin ripped off three straight goals over a 1:20 minute span with Riddle scoring twice and Lora Adkins popping one into the back of the net, putting the hosts up 9-6 at the break.

Simmons netted back-to-back goals to account for the Grizzlies' only offense of the third quarter, but the FC defense kept the Ravens in check to preserve an 11-9 lead going into the final quarter. The home side put the game away with four straight goals to open the third period and closed things out with the final three goals of the contest.
