Sloppy.
A single word accurately describes both the weather at Towson University’s Johnny Unitas Stadium Wednesday and the Notre Dame women’s lacrosse team’s performance on that field.
Amid swirling winds and a 10-degree windchill, the No. 10 Irish (8-3) turned the ball over 31 times - more than twice their per game average - and lost to the No. 15 Tigers (5-3), 14-11.
The loss obscured a career day for senior midfielder Casey Pearsall, who had a seven point performance (1 goal, 6 assists). The Irish also dominated in draw controls - essentially, face offs at midfield after goals - but negated that advantage through poor ball handling.
