FRESNO, Calif. – The Fresno State women's lacrosse team defeated Colgate Sunday afternoon 14-9 in the Soccer and Lacrosse Stadium.

"We had a great team win today, with seven players scoring on attack," said head coach Jessica Giglio. "Our defense had an outstanding game. To have our defense play really strong as unit and to have Laurel in the cage really allowed us to score on the other end of the field. We were really disciplined today, we learned from our last game and took a big step forward."

The Bulldogs improve to 5-2 this season. This is the best seven game start in program history, already tying the program record for most wins in a single season (5).

The Bulldogs were led by a balanced offense, seven Bulldogs found the back of the net to tally 14 goals.
