Nashville, Tenn. - It was a chilly 35 degrees in Nashville as the Rhodes College women's lacrosse team took on the No. 8-ranked Washington & Lee Generals on the campus of Harpeth Hall Wednesday night.

Just as the game began, heavy snowfall fell over the field along with wind gusts, which didn't phase the native Virginia team who opened the game with back-to-back goals. Baylee Barker scored for the Lynx to cut W&L's lead to two before the Generals posted six consecutive goals. 

Rhodes ended the scoring run on a Payton Bennett goal before W&L led 11-2. After the Generals picked up a yellow card for slashing, Aidan Pike scored on the man-up situation with 6:30 left in the first half. W&L finished hte half with a 14-3 lead. The Generals opened the second half with five straight goals before Bennett scored the final Lynx goal with 15:32 left to play. W&L scored three goals in the final 12:30 to finish the game.

Overall, the Lynx committed 22 turnovers and went 12-of-21 in clears while the Generals held a 44-12 shot advantage.

Lauren Lazure made nine saves in goal for Rhodes which included stuffing W&L's Caitlin Anderson on a one-v-one situation after Anderson intercepted a Lynx clear attempt. In relief, Emma Bradley made four saves.

The Lynx hit the road again this weekend to open conference play at Birmingham-Southern on Saturday. First draw is set for noon.
