In its last road contest of the season and the Hokies' first to the state of Oregon, the Virginia Tech lacrosse team (7-8) fell to the University of Oregon Ducks (10-3) by a final score of 15-10.
Despite the 2,700-mile trip out west, the Hokies led early with a 4-1 advantage in the first 15 minutes.
Even with the lead and the confidence of a three-game win streak behind them, Tech was unable to stage off a 6-1 run by the Ducks into the half, which put Oregon up 7-5.
Senior veteran and scoring leader Rachel Culp brought the Hokies to within one less than a minute into the 2nd-half, but Tech would not get any closer.
Both teams traded goals for most of the second half. However, with 4:11 left and Tech down by one, the Ducks went on a 4-0 run to end the game.
The Hokies will finish their regular season at Thompson Field this Saturday against the ACC-rival Maryland Terrapins at 1p.m.
