ROCK ISLAND -- The Augustana Vikings women's lacrosse team will face the Concordia (Wis.) Falcons on Saturday, March 9 at Thorson-Lucken Field. 

The Vikings sit at 1-2 on the season and return to action after a 17-10 loss against the Beloit Buccaneers on Thursday.

The Buccaneers answered a late goal from Painter to bring an 8-6 lead into the halftime break.

Returning from the break, Beloit scored four times before Bechard earned her third goal of the day on a pass from Narita Lambert. The Buccaneers scored two additional times to head into the last 15 minutes of play with a score of 14-7.
