Dallas, Pa. (Mar. 12, 2025) - Misericordia University (2-3) used a 9-0 run to take a 13-6 win over Alvernia University (0-5) on Wednesday night in non-conference women's lacrosse action at Misericordia.

The Golden Wolves tied the game at 3-3 in the early seconds of the second quarter. But, Misericordia broke the tie two minutes later, and that goal ignited a 9-0 run for the Cougars that ran into the fourth quarter and gave Misericordia the 12-3 lead. Alvernia scored a trio of goals late, but the Misericordia lead was too much for Alvernia to overcome as the Cougars took the 13-6 win.
