How It Happened 
The Franciscan Lady Barons would fall on the road to Chatham by a score of 5-2. Claire Dawyot and Sarah Cocozza would each score a goal for Franciscan in the Wednseday night loss. 

Chatham would control the first half of this one, as they out shot Franciscan 14-8 in the first 45 minutes. Chatham would score first on an own goal by the Lady Barons. They would add a second goal when Morgan Anderson scored her first of the night with 10 minutes left to play in the half. Sarah Cocozza would get a good shot on goal down the stretch, but it would be saved, to take the 2-0 deficit into the half.

Franciscan would not waste time in the second half, as Claire Dawyot would score in the first minute of the second half. Freshman Juliana Rubino would deliver the assist, to set the score at 2-1. Greta Mort would score a responding goal a couple minutes later for Chatham to set the lead back to two goals. Genevieve Zeswitz would add a forth goal for Chatham, with a little over thirty minutes still to play. Zeswitz would find the back of net again for the Cougars to set the score at 5-1.

Sarah Cocozza would earn her first goal of the night, as Gabriella De La Torre would assist on the second Franciscan goal of the night. The Franciscan attack would not quit, as Juliana Rubino would nearly score in the final two minutes, as her shot hit the post. 

Inside the Numbers 
- Claire Dawyot scored her fifth goal of the season, to tie her with Juliana Rubino for most on the team.
- Sarah Cocozza scored a goal, after sitting out the last game. She has three goals on the season.
- Freshman Gabriella De La Torre notched her first assist of her career. 
- The Lady Barons scored two goals on the night, on Chatham who had only allowed one goal all season in six games.

Who's Next? 
The Lady Barons will return home for their last scheduled home game of the season on Saturday, bright and early, for a 10 am start against Westminster. The Lady Barons are 1-5 all-time against the Titans, with the Titans winning the last four matchups. Franciscan has not beaten Westminster since 2013, by a score of 2-1. Jordan Byrley and Katie Roemer were the goal scorers for the Lady Barons in the win that day. Westminster holds a 5-1-1 record thus far this season, which is good enough for second place in the PAC.
