Canton, NY - Sophomore Emily Bojarski (Syracuse, NY), junior Alicia Chace (Cortland, NY) and Lindsey Grigg (Watertown, NY) each came through with four-point efforts for the Clarkson University Women's Lacrosse team but their offensive production wasn't enough in a high-scoring affair against St. Lawrence with the Golden Knights falling 20-13 in Liberty League action Tuesday night.
