SARASOTA, Fla. - The Columbia College women's lacrosse team dropped their season opener on Saturday falling 24-2 on the road at New College of Florida in the program's first game since 2020.

NCF then added six more goals in the third quarter and four more in the fourth while the Koalas got their second goal from freshman attacker Taylor Gipson to open up the scoring in the fourth quarter. Gipson also led in total shots attempted at three while sophomore attacker Madison Dibert led in ground balls with six.
