ORANGE, Calif. – The Chapman University women's lacrosse team fell 23-7 to visiting CMS on  Saturday. Madi Escobar scored three goals to lead the Panthers.

The Panthers were able to hang tough through the first quarter but the short-handed squad fell behind 15-3 by halftime as the Athenas pulled away.

Escobar scored Chapman's first goal and was followed by a goal from Ada Carr, who quickly buried a shot on a pass from behind the goal from Lyndsey Huss. However, the Athenas scored the next 14 goals to take command of the game.

Madelyn Kuhnlein made 11 saves in goal for Chapman and kept CMS off the board on free positions, forcing the Athenas to go 0-for-3.

Chapman is on the road on Wednesday to face Whittier but back home for Senior Day on Saturday to take on Cal Lutheran at 11 a.m.
