VESTAL, N.Y. - The Binghamton women's lacrosse team concluded its season with a 18-6 loss against Albany Saturday afternoon at the Bearcats Sports Complex in Vestal. The Bearcats honored their seven seniors, as well as the class of 2020 prior to the game.
 
Despite the loss, head coach Stephanie Allen raved about the team's current seniors and what they have brought to the program.
 
It is a tremendous honor that we got to recognize and celebrate this group of Seniors today," Allen said. "The class of 2021 entered Binghamton and helped us turn the corner as a program. While this year and last did not allow for our seniors to have a normal college playing experience, we thank them for helping lead our team through each challenge we faced. This is a group of women who's impact will be missed both on and off the field."
 
Senior midfielder Alyssa Sanchez led the Bearcats offensively, scoring two goals and adding six draw controls. She also had two caused turnovers. Taylor Passuello also made 11 saves, to push her career total over 400 (408).
 
The Great Danes opened the game with a goal in the first minute, but BU responded with a goal by Sanchez to knot it up at one early.
 
Albany would then score eight straight goals to lead 9-1 with eight minutes to go in the first half before Binghamton scored three of the final five goals in the half. Among those, was the first goal of the season by Kenna Newman.
 
In a more defensive half for both sides, Albany scored the frame's first five goals in a span of 15 minutes. Paige Volkmann ended the run with a goal of her own to make it a 16-5 game, but the Great Danes proceeded to add two more to end at their total of 18. 
 
Jesse Barer added the final goal of the game at the three-minute mark before Albany took the 18-6 victory.
