TACOMA, Wash. – A furious comeback attempt fell just shy of completion as the University of Puget Sound women's lacrosse team fell 15-13 to Pacific on Tuesday.

With the score now 14-11, Jessica McDonald struck once at the 1:34 mark and again with 56 seconds left to narrow the gap to 14-13. It was the closest the Loggers had been since going down 1-0 just 30 seconds into the match.

Natalie Getchell slammed the door on the Logger rally with the last of her five goals on the night with 17 seconds left. Kaitlyn Harper contributed four goals for Pacific in the match, including the first two goals of the match in the first minute.

Kristine Morris and Jessica McDonald led the Loggers with three goals each.
