The Benedictine University women's lacrosse team has played four straight matches away from home, with one more road match scheduled for this week. On Sunday, the Eagles will head to Beloit, Wisconsin to take on Midwest Women's Lacrosse Conference for Beloit College at 12:00 p.m.
 
Benedictine (0-6) dropped both of its matches over Spring Break, falling at University of Dallas 13-7 and Oklahoma Baptist University 10-9. Despite the two defeats, goalkeeper Hannah Smith stopped 27 shots in net, attacker Samantha Link netted seven goals, and midfielder Becca Gullett recorded three goals, three assists, and 10 ground balls over the Spring trip.
  
The Buccaneers are in year three as a varsity program, just as the BenU Eagles are. Beloit has shown steady improvement, jumping from 4-7 in the inaugural 2013 season to 10-7 in 2014. This year, the Buccaneers are off to a 2-3 start. All five matchups have been decided by single-digits.
 
Beloit has defeated BenU in each of the past two seasons. Last year, Benedictine had its best offensive output of the season despite the loss, falling 18-17 in Wisconsin. In 2013, Beloit downed Benedictine 19-4 in Lisle.
