Have I missed a definition change for "win" and "lose"?

At the end of the engagement was the 93rd in possession of the field? They surely did not "win" nor "draw" and unless I am mistaken the alternative is still to "lose." That they acted honorably, is granted, even with terrible losses among the men AND officers.
