Women’s Lacrosse 2025 HCLC Championship Preview

The second-seeded Anderson University women's lacrosse team (8-7) takes on the top-seeded Transylvania University (7-9) in the Heartland Collegiate Lacrosse Conference (HCLC) Championship on Friday, May 2, at 7 p.m. in Lexington, Ky.

Questions answered by Head Coach Russell Mackey.

What were your thoughts on Tuesday's win against Spalding?

Spalding has become a real conference rival, as we have equal talent and tenacity. So, beating them is extremely satisfying, as the games we play against [Spalding] are always close.

What are your expectations of Transylvania?

Well, no excuses, but losing yet another key player coming out of the Spalding game (we lost our key defender in the Franklin game), we certainly have an uphill battle. We've grown and improved, so I am hopeful some players can step up and fill those big shoes we've lost.

What does Anderson need to do to be successful on Friday?

Transition, like we've done over the last [few] games.
