Big South Women's Lacrosse Summary - April 19
Two one-goal outcomes highlighted Saturday's women's lacrosse action.
PRESBYTERIAN 13, LONGWOOD 12 | BOX SCORE
A strong contender for the most exciting win in program history, sophomore Emma Claire Mills of the Presbyterian College lacrosse team delivered a dagger to Longwood on Saturday afternoon by avoiding overtime and stunning the Lancers with less than a second remaining. The Blue Hose connected twice in less than two minutes as they resurrected from an earlier six-point lead that had whisked away, as Mills authored a major highlight on a Hail Mary play to get the victory. Concocting a 10-4 advantage just before the break, PC persevered past a mid-match dry spell and walloped their Big South rival when it seemed that OT was imminent.
MERCER 15, WINTHROP 14 | BOX SCORE
Sami Lowinger and Abby Morrison scored four goals each and Mercer held on to defeat Winthrop, 15-14 on the road Saturday afternoon from Eagle Field in Rock Hill, South Carolina. Mercer led 10-5 at halftime, but the Eagles outscored Mercer 9-5 in the second half to cut the deficit to one with under one minute remaining. Winthrop got back in the game by dominating the draw circle, 23-10. It was the second fewest draws for the Bears in a game this season (9 vs Florida).
WOFFORD 16, GARDNER-WEBB 4 | BOX SCORE
The Wofford College women's lacrosse team scored first and never looked back on the way to a dominant 16-4 win over Gardner-Webb on Saturday afternoon at Gibbs Stadium. In the final home regular season game for the Terriers, they were up 3-1 at the end of the first quarter and scored the next nine goals to put the contest out of reach.
