BRIDGEWATER, Va. - Not originially on the Royals schedule, EMU lacrosse was able to add a game against cross-town rival, Bridgewater. 

The Eagles opened up the game with eight straight goals as they picked up a 20-3 win over EMU. 

Records: EMU 1-7 | Bridgewater 6-4, 1-0 ODAC

Highlights

• Cristal Narciso picked up four saves for the Royals in the first quarter, before EMU got on the board. With time winding down in the first quarter, after a draw control from Cindy Argueta-Rivas, Alex Palizzi beat the Bridgewater defense and found the back of the cage for her 14th goal of the season. 
• EMU would add another goal right before the half. After Aaliyah Lawhorne was fouled, she lined up for the free position shot. She took two steps and blasted a shot past the Eagles keeper, cutting in the BC lead. 
• The Royals final goal would come with just over three minutes left in the fourth. After Shayleigh Sims caused a BC turnover, Argueta-Rivas turned it into a goal.
