The Shippensburg University women's lacrosse team closed out its regular season on Saturday afternoon with a competitive 13-12 road loss to PSAC foe East Stroudsburg despite hat tricks from sophomore Sheila Johnson, senior Roxanne Brown and junior Bennett Widlake.

Junior Kayla Dalzell had a goal and an assist, junior Amanda Krok scored a goal and caused three turnovers and sophomore Courtney Kennedy provided two helpers.

Junior Liz French scooped up seven groundballs and gathered three draw controls and senior Sarah Chrencik collected four groundballs.

The Warriors (3-13, 2-9) got off to an early 2-0 lead before three Raider goals in the span of three minutes gave the visitors the lead eight minutes into the game. ESU took the lead back, however, with four consecutive goals for a 6-3 advantage, but SU scored three times in the final 10 minutes to cut its halftime deficit to 7-6.

The two teams traded goals for the first six scores of the half, with Lindsey Kennedy tying the game 30 seconds into the period before Johnson and Krok also netted equalizers.

Down 10-9 with under 16 minutes left, the Raiders scored back-to-back goals in the span of 22 seconds to take an 11-10 lead. The Warriors then scored three in a row to grab a two-goal, 13-11 advantage with 4:58 left – the first lead of more than one goal by either team in the second half.

The season-ending loss brings to a close the careers of SU's five seniors – Brown, Chrencik, Erin Hains, Lindsey Kennedy and Jenna Simmons – that contributed to 29 wins over the past four seasons and racked up 160 goals, 114 assists, 383 groundball pickups, 228 draw controls and 154 caused turnovers.

Kennedy wrapped up one of the most decorated careers in program history, as she set the all-time assists record with 94 -- 15th-most all-time in PSAC history -- and sits tied for seventh on the all-time goals list with 112. Kennedy also tallied 157 groundball pickups, 168 draw controls and 64 caused turnovers in her career.
