LACROSSE POSTS COMEBACK OVER 'CATS
TACOMA, Wash. - Down one goal at halftime, the Puget Sound Loggers posted a monster comeback to collect an 18-11 win over the Linfield Wildcats in a NCAA Division III women's lacrosse match on Saturday on Peyton Field at Baker Stadium in Tacoma, Wash.
The Loggers (10-2) scored the first goal of the game when Sofia Lama (Laguna Niguel, Calif./Torrey Pines) scored about 90 seconds in but the Wildcats then scored four straight and the Loggers had to play from behind, taking an 8-7 deficit into halftime.
In the second period, Linfield scored just over five minutes in but the Loggers then scored nine unanswered goals to pull ahead, 16-9. After Linfield scored one more with six minutes to go, the Loggers quickly added two more to push the lead to 18-10 but the 'Cats didn't give up, scoring one final goal with nine seconds remaining as the Loggers collected the 18-11 win.
Lama scored eight goals on the day to push her season total to 53. Lindsay O'Brien (Reading, Vt./Westminster) added four goals while Lindsay Pearce (Portland, Ore./Sunset) chipped in three goals. Ana Calcian0 (Farmington, Conn./Miss Porter's School) made 16 saves on the day to collect the win.
Linfield was led by five goals from Sammy Smith and two from Melissa DePierro. Becca Levy started in goal for the Wildcats, making 13 saves.
The Loggers, who are currently ranked sixth in the official NCAA West Region Rankings, will conclude the 2008 regular season next Saturday at home against Redlands.
