BLOOMSBURG, Pa. – In its first two games of the season, the Gannon women's lacrosse team has made several big comebacks and played in two action-packed contests that came down to the final minute.
 
However, the Golden Knights (0-2) are still seeking their first victory. They will try to pull off that win on Saturday at 1 p.m. in a non-conference game against PSAC East opponent Bloomsburg at Steph Pettit Stadium.
 
The Huskies, who were picked to finish fifth in the PSAC East in the coaches' preseason poll, will be playing their home opener. Bloomsburg (1-0) opened the season with a 20-4 road victory over Holy Family University in Philadelphia on Wednesday.

On Wednesday against Molloy, Gannon trailed 5-0 but rallied to take a 10-8 lead in the third quarter. The game was tied 12-12 before the Lions scored the winning goal with 1:06 to go on a one-player advantage.
