PUEBLO, Colo. - - UVa-Wise built an 8-4 halftime lead en route to a 16-12 non-conference women's lacrosse win at Colorado State – Pueblo Wednesday. In the win, Kristin Gobbi and Rachel Cole scored three goals each as the Cavaliers improved to 3-1 on the season.

UVa-Wise scored the game's first six goals as Sydney Steinberg, Gobbi, Cole, Jessica Apgar, Hannah Marshall and Samantha Hill each scored to build the six-goal advantage mid-way through the first half.

The ThunderWolves (1-1) would score four of the half's final six goals to enter intermission trailing 8-4.
