Cougars Drop Close Game at Home

The BYU lacrosse team failed to bring its best Friday afternoon in its game against Simon Fraser and suffered the consequences of a 17-14 loss.

“It was very frustrating,” sophomore attacker Drew Shumway said. “We didn’t play to our ability.” The game started out with chaotic, back-and-forth scoring that continued throughout the whole game.

The Cougars led at the half by one, but several mistakes gave Simon Fraser easy opportunities — they outscored BYU by two goals in both the third and fourth quarters, winning it, 17-14.

BYU played at its opponent’s pace for the majority of the game, and had a hard time gaining any rhythm. “We have the talent to beat everyone we play,” Shumway said, “but they played with more heart, and that made the difference.”
