Edinboro Rallies, But Falls Short in Overtime at Millersville

MILLERSVILLE, Pa. (April 15, 2017) – A resilient Edinboro women's lacrosse team rallied from a five-goal, first-half deficit at Millersville on Saturday afternoon to force overtime, tied at 10-10. The comeback was thwarted, however, by a free-position Marauders goal from Sarah Leverentz that saw the Fighting Scots come up on the short end of an 11-10 contest. Edinboro dropped to 1-11 overall with an 0-8 PSAC record. Millersville improved to 6-7 overall with a 3-5 league mark.
 
The Marauders opened the fray scoring six first-half goals to take a 6-1 lead, with Elysia Garland's score at 15:19 interrupting Millersville's scoring run. Emily Peters cut the Ville's lead to four before the half with her 34th goal of the year, assisted by Rachel Olson that saw Edinboro, trail, 6-2, at intermission. The Fighting Scots opened the second half netting three of the first four goals to cut Millersville's lead to 7-5 with 24:06 to play.
 
Both sides exchanged goals over the next several minutes. With Edinboro down, 9-6, the Scots rallied for three straight goals to tie the match at 9-9 with 6:33 remaining. Olson scored the first one off a free position, with Peters and Garland providing the remaining two. Callie Kavanaugh put the Marauders back in front, albeit briefly, on a score with 4:49 to play before Peters netted her team-high fourth score of the day nearly one minute later to send the match to overtime tied at 10-10.
 
Saturday's match marked Edinboro's first overtime appearance since 2010. The Fighting Scots attempted just one shot in the extra period to Millersville's four, with the Marauders' final one, a free position from Leverentz with 1:05 left, finding the back of the net to seal the win. The women were outshot, 30-23, but finished tied with Millersville, 19-19, in shots on goal. Edinboro won the draw control battle, 14-10, caused six of the Ville's 13 turnovers, and made 12-of-17 clears.   
 
Goalkeeper Paige Skinner collected eight saves on the day, including one in overtime, as she fell to 1-11 on the year. Shannon Davis started in net for Millersville before giving way to Sarah Leverentz, who picked up the win to climb to 2-2.
 
Peters, who is second all-time at Edinboro with 121 career goals, needs only four more goals to pass Shannon Rohrich to become the school's all-time career goals leader. The senior midfielder is also third all-time with 144 career points.
 
Garland and Olson each tallied two goals on the day, with Olson adding a pair of assists to finish with four points. Erin Gordon and Mary Uplinger each recorded a goal.
 
Renee Landis had four goals and one assist for Millersville for a match-high five points. Sabrina Fusco and Taylor Davis each had three points on two goals and one assist, with Kavanugh, Leverentz and Nathalie Sell each tallying a goal. Erin Fagaon had one assist.
 
Head coach Caitlin Formato's team plays the second of their three-match road trip on Tuesday, taking on Roberts Wesleyan in a non-conference match at 4:00 p.m.
