Game Notes & Interview
Loyal Fan Tim Bauer was in attendence at the Mercyhurst/Gannon lacrosse showdown held @ Gannon University
Over the weekend i was able to attend the Mercyhurst/Gannon Women's Lacrosse game held on Gannon's Campus. It was a sunny day but the temperatures were very low, in the 40s. The game was very exciting at first then Gannon started to pull away. Gannon was ranked #6 in the Conference and Mercyhurst was #3, so techincally Hurst got upset, which is never a good thing. They played hard but Gannon was just too much for them, as Gannon ended up winning the battle by a score of 13-8. I believe Mercyhurst will learn from this loss and keep their heads up. There is a lot of season left and they need to keep fighting to stay in the runnings for playoffs. Overall, it was a very interesting game and i enjoyed it a great deal

I was not able to interview a coach or player from either side so i decided to question a loyal lacrosse fan. Tim Bauer, now attending Penn State Behrend College is a very big sports fan and tries to attend as much as possible. I was able to sit down with him and ask him a few questions regarding the game and his thoughts:
Q 1: What do you think was the main factor that Mercyhurst ended up losing this game?
Tim: I believe that Mercyhurst just let up in the longrun and was not able to conpete with Gannon. Both of the teams played very well and hard tonight, but Gannon played a bit better.
Q2: What do you think the Lakers needed to do to win that game?
Tim: Well they started out very strong right after halftime, as that one girl scored back to back goals, but it just wasn't enough. Gannon just had an answer for everything that Mercyhurst threw at them.
Q3: Was this one of the most exciting lax games?
Tim: I thought it was very exciting, especially right after half but i was dissappointed in the outcome, i wanted Hurst to drive a come back and pull off the victory.
Q4: Why did Gannon win the game?
Tim: By their defense, flat out. Their D was superb.
Q5: Do you plan on attending another Mercyhurst/Gannon Lax showdown?
Tim:Yes, i actually want to watch the men's lax team duke it out. It's always a good battle.
