EASTON, Pa. – Senior Jolie Creo totaled 10 points on five goals and five assists to lead the Holy Cross women's lacrosse team to a 16-4 victory over Lafayette at Fisher Stadium. The Crusaders improve to 5-7 on the season and 2-3 in the Patriot League, while the Leopards fall to 2-9 overall and 1-4 in the conference.

Senior Grace Flink also turned in an outstanding performance, making 15 saves while allowing just four goals. In addition, senior Jordyn Arakelian, junior Jenna Giardina and sophomore Lauren Drillock scored two goals each for Holy Cross.
