Women's Lacrosse Player Saves Dog's Life

JACKSONVILLE, FL--- The Howard women's lacrosse team wrapped up two conference games this weekend against the Dolphins of Jacksonville University and the Hatters of Setson University. Although the Lady Bison were unable to clintch victories in either games, one player in particular helped save the life of a four legged friend.

Head Coach Karli Brentlinger had this to say:
"I don't know if I've ever been more proud of one of my athletes. Amongst all the chaos of checking bags and shuffling an entire team through the airport security for a flight we were about to miss, this little dog seized up and stopped breathing. When Senior midfielder Taylor Gainey heard this poor lady screaming and violently shaking her dog, she ran over and stuck her fingers down its throat and successfully gave doggie CPR. This litttle guy is still alive and kicking thanks to Taylor. Oh, and we didn't miss our flight!"

The Lady Bison have proven time again that serving others is essential to their team's mission.

UP NEXT: The Lady Bison (0-9, 0-3) take on Owls of Kennesaw State (3-8, 1-2), Friday, 12 PM at Greene Stadium.
