COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Capital University women's lacrosse team hosted Muskingum University on Friday evening at Bernlohr Stadium to wrap up their 2026 season. Thankfully for the Comets, Capital held off Muskingum to cap the season with a 15-9 victory over the Muskies. The game, which was originally scheduled for Wednesday, April 22nd, saw the visitors garner an early 3-0 lead, but the Purple and White finished the game on a 15-6 run to remove all doubt of the final score. 

With the result, Capital ends their season 5-9 overall and 1-5 in the OAC, while Muskingum concludes their year with a 6-11 record and an 0-6 conference mark.

The Comets fell behind 3-0 early, but responded on a four-goal run to end the first quarter leading 4-3. Those four goals came via the sticks of Grace Wolfe, Leah Leno, Sienna Pinson, and Mia Cruz.

Capital kept their foot on the gas to start the second quarter as Leno scored three times, joined by Pinson to boost the Comets out to an 8-3 lead by halftime. 

To start the third quarter, the Muskies came out hot, trimming the lead to 8-7 before a woman-up goal by Mia Cruz halted the momentum.
