Hawks face No. 1-ranked Lindenwood in GLVC Tournament

McKenzie Blair (18) leads the Hawks in draw controls and ground balls.
The Great Lakes Valley Conference announced Tuesday evening the field for the inaugural GLVC Women's Lacrosse Championship Tournament, which will be hosted by McKendree University in Lebanon, Illinois, from Friday to Sunday (April 30-May 2).

The top four teams based on Conference winning percentage received a berth in the single-elimination tournament. The tournament location was determined prior to the academic year.

Rockhurst will square off against Lindenwood on Friday at 4 p.m. in Lebanon. During the regular season, Lindenwood defeated Rockhurst, 18-9, at home.

Ranked atop the IWLCA national poll, Lindenwood (12-0, 7-0 GLVC) secured the No. 1 seed for the event after finishing the regular season unblemished. Rockhurst (6-6, 4-3 GLVC) is the No. 4 seed.

Lindenwood was perfect in league play during the first full season of league women's lacrosse in 2021. Erin McGuire led the team with 68 points this spring, including 39 in GLVC action, which ranks third. The Lions earn their first No. 1 seed in a Conference tournament since 2018, when the program was a part of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.

Marianna Anderson led the Rockhurst attack this season with 35 points. Mackenzie Blair leads the Hawks with 34 draw controls and 35 ground balls. Blair and Olivia Collier are the team co-leaders with 23 caused turnvovers.

No. 2 seed Indianapolis (12-1, 6-1 GLVC) and third-seeded McKendree (10-3, 5-2 GLVC) compete at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. UIndy toppled McKendree, 24-5, last Saturday in the teams' lone contest this season.
