SHEPHERDSTOWN, W.Va. – The Shippensburg University women's lacrosse team overcame a halftime deficit on Monday afternoon by scoring seven times in the final frame to stave off a pesky Shepherd squad, 13-12. Sophomore Lindsey Kennedy scored what proved to be the game winner with 6:32 remaining in the contest.

Shippensburg (7-6) scored just three goals in the first 20 minutes of the contest but rallied to get within two goals of the Rams at the intermission. After an early second-half goal by the hosts, the Raiders strung together six consecutive goals in a 15-minute span. The rally transformed a three-goal deficit into a three-goal lead and helped Shippensburg maintain its edge down the stretch.

Senior Karen Schnurr led the Raiders in scoring with her seventh hat trick of the season while winning three draw controls. Kennedy, junior Lauren Hauck and freshman Bennett Widlake each added two tallies in the win.

Freshman Liz French continued her strong play with a goal, an assist and four draw controls. Senior Katie Brewer, junior Ali Cross and sophomore Roxanne Brown also scored for Shippensburg.

Junior Meghan Kearney keyed the victory with 18 saves.

On Friday, Shippensburg will travel to face No. 12 Merychurst. The opening draw is set for 3 p.m.
