LOCK HAVEN DEFEATS GANNON IN
BATTLE OF NATIONALLY-RANKED TEAMS
LOCK HAVEN, Pa. - Gannon
and Lock Haven played to an even draw in the final 31 minutes and 55 seconds.
Unfortunately, it was all Lock Haven in the first 29 minutes and five seconds.
Lock Haven scored the first seven goals of the match and defeated Gannon
15-8 in a battle of nationally-ranked women’s lacrosse teams Monday night
at Lock Haven’s Charlotte Smith Field. The Bald Eagles are ranked sixth in
NCAA Division II while the Lady Knights are tabbed seventh.
The home squad shut out Gannon 7-0 during the first 29 minutes. The Lady
Knights were unable to dent the scoreboard until Mary Eshenour’s (Waterloo,
N.Y./Waterloo) goal with 55 seconds left in the half. The two teams then
traded a pair of goals in the final 26 seconds of the half as the Bald Eagles
took an 8-2 lead into the intermission.
Gannon tried to rally with the first three scores of the second half. Antonia
Cianfrocco’s (Chittenango, N.Y./Chittenango) tally 4:19 into the half
cut the deficit to 8-5. However, Lock Haven immediately responded with three
consecutive goals and six of the next seven to seal the deal. The Bald Eagles
out-scored the Lady Knights 7-6 in the final 30 minutes.
Eshenour led the Gannon offense with three goals and one assist. Colleen
Dixon (Lafayette, N.Y./Lafayette) and Taryn Millerd (Shortsville,
