MACON, Ga. --- The Fresno State women's lacrosse team improves to 3-0 after defeating Mercer Sunday morning. The Bulldogs bested the Bears 10-12.

Our defense had a phenomenal game led by our goalie, Laurel Maunder. Tiffiny Wallace stepped up and had a huge game for us. Our team worked well together on the draw control and that was a momentum change for the game."

Sarah Bloise scored three goals, Nicole Ortlieb scored two goals, Marina Mayo and Ryleigh Bone tacked on a goal each to round out scoring.
Fresno State was down by one at halftime (5-4), before outscoring Mercer 8-5 in the second half to win the game.
Kyleigh Westgarth had a team-high 5 draw controls.
As a team, Fresno State had a 16-8 advantage in draw controls. The Bulldogs recorded 28 shots with 23 on goal.
