ANDERSON, S.C. -- The Trojans fell short 12-9 against Limestone University who has been steady in the national rankings until this week. Anderson moves to 6-5 overall and 4-1 in the South Atlantic Conference with the loss while Limestone moves to 10-4 and 7-1 in the SAC.

"We just didn't show up to play today," said head coach Nicole Voci. "As a young team, we're still learning what it truly means to believe in ourselves. We know we are much better than what we showed today, and hope to see Limestone again in the next couple of weeks. There is a lot of lacrosse left this season, so until then, onto the next!"
