Each of DePauw University's lacrosse teams suffered losses that extended their disappointing losing streaks. The women's loss to Allegheny College marked their fourth straight loss, while the men reached eight straight defeats when they fell to Kenyon College on Saturday afternoon.
The women were doomed after the Gators struck for 12 goals in the first half and held a nine-point lead after the first 30 minutes.
DePauw rallied with seven goals in the second half thanks to two pairs of tallies from junior Jamie Powell and first-year Emilye Denny. The late heroics were not enough, however, as the Gators hung on to earn a 15-10 victory.
The loss dropped the Tigers to 3-9 overall and 2-5 in NCAC play. The women have one game remaining at Kenyon next Saturday afternoon.
The men suffered a similar fate at the hands of the Kenyon Lords. DePauw fell behind early, giving up five goals in the first quarter and struggled to rebound.
The Lords took a three-point lead into halftime and then put the game away with six unanswered goals in the third quarter.
Kenyon was able to coast in the final 15 minutes and cruised to 16-6 win over the Tigers.
With the loss, DePauw's overall record falls to 3-11 and 1-6 in the NCAC. The Tigers will have one more chance to collect that elusive fourth win when they host Beloit College on Saturday, May 3.
