PURCHASE, N.Y. - The Purchase College women's lacrosse team was defeated in a Skyline Conference matchup Tuesday evening, falling at Manhattanville College by the score of 19-1.

With the result, the Panthers are now 1-7 overall and 0-4 in the conference. Meanwhile, the Valiants improved to 3-8 and 2-3, respectively. 

It turned out to be a tough night for Purchase from the get-go, as three-straight goals from the hosts put the Orange and Blue in an early hole.

Madison Buttice (JR/Bethpage, NY) broke up the scoring run with the Panthers' lone strike of contest. Her goal came with 5:37 remaining in the first quarter on an unassisted effort. 

However, the Valiants responded with five more goals to closeout the frame to lead 8-1 after 15 minutes. By halftime, Manhattanville had extended the margin to 14-1. 

Individually, Buttice recorded two draw controls, while Katie Borger (SR/Bellmore, NY) finished with three draw controls in the effort. 

In goal, Casandra Schmoger (JR/Islip, NY) received the loss after making 14 saves in 45 minutes of action. 

Up next for the women's lacrosse team is a return home, as the Panthers will celebrate Senior Night on April 22nd against Mount Saint Mary College.

That game is set to begin at 6 p.m. with the ceremony taking place pregame.
