WOMEN’S LACROSSE
3. Royal Kingdom: Scranton Foils F&M
photo by Grace DiCarlo
It was not a good day for the top two teams in the Centennial Conference, as top-5 poll members Franklin & Marshall and Gettysburg fell to defeat.
Grace DiDominica was the heroine as Scranton toppled the Diplomats, 8-7. The sophomore scored the game-winning goal with just 3.3 seconds remaining. Eileen Hewitt led the Royals with three goals and an assist, but the player of the game may have been Paige Martin, who held F&M All-American Lauren Pittman off the scoreboard and to just three shots. Myranda Beebe led the Diplomats with three goals.
Denison scored four goals in a 12-minute span of the fourth quarter to erase a 10-7 deficit and defeat Gettysburg, 11-10. Finlay Harmon scored an unassisted goal with 58 ticks left on the clock for the deciding tally. Julianne Henigan registered 10 saves for the Big Red. Denison capped off a 2-0 weekend against the Centennial Conference with a 9-4 win at Dickinson.
