ST. LOUIS – On Saturday (April 5), the Missouri Baptist University women's lacrosse team shut out Midland University 29-0 in a Heart of America Conference game honoring MBU's senior class.

Senior midfielder Olivia Julian, Cornett, Lang, and Alexis Taylor each scored a goal within about five minutes of each other.

Hayley Schnefke, a graduate student defender, followed her first career goal as well.
