Frank’s Golden Goal Completes Lacrosse Rally in Finale, 13-12 at Bloomsburg

SU rallies from six-goal deficit in final 20 minutes to win second league match

Junior Amanda Frank tied a career high with five goals on Tuesday, including a golden goal just 13 seconds into overtime, as the Shippensburg University lacrosse team wrapped up its regular season with a 13-12 comeback victory at Bloomsburg in a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) matchup from Steph Pettit Stadium.
 
Shippensburg (5-11, 2-10 PSAC) trailed 12-8 with 14:32 remaining, but the Raiders held Bloomsburg (4-11, 2-10) scoreless for the remainder of the contest. Senior goalkeeper Ally Frymoyer, playing in her final contest, made three of her 12 saves during SU's 5-0 run.
 
SU got goals from freshman Maggie Lawshe and freshman Madi Newman before Frank found the back of the net with 3:28 remaining to make the score 12-11 in favor of the hosts. With 1:53 left in regulation, junior Ali Harclerode scored her only goal of the match to tie the game at 12-12.
 
The late rally actually began earlier in the final frame, as SU trailed 11-5 with 20 minutes to play. The Raiders scored eight of the final nine goals in the contest to come away the victors.
 
Frank's five goals matches a career high set earlier this season at Catawba. Both of her five-goal efforts this season are the most by a Raider in a single game in 2016. She also had two assists, including the primary pass to set up Harclerode's tying goal.
 
Harclerode also had one assist, two caused turnovers and five groundballs in another dynamic performance. She finishes the season tied with Frank for the team lead in goals with 22.
 
The only other Raider to net multiple goals Tuesday was sophomore Sarah McLeod, who scored once in each half. McLeod, who entered the season finale with just four draw controls through 10 games, recorded a game-high six to complement an assist and a groundball in her final stat line. Five of McLeod's seven goals this season came in the team's final three games.
 
Sophomore Allison Fugate, junior T.J. Johnson and freshman Morgan Stone also scored goals. Stone had three groundballs and two caused turnovers, while Johnson had five groundballs. Newman, another of SU's goal scorers, had two assists.
 
Despite losing the draw control battle by five to the Huskies, the Raiders picked up nine more groundballs than their opponent – totaling a season-high 43 in the match. In fact, the 43 groundballs credited to Shippensburg are the most by the team in a single game since Mar. 29, 2007 – a span of 164 contests.
 
Freshman Valerie Hertz was outstanding along the back lines, totaling five groundballs and three caused turnovers while being credited with just one turnover. Junior Max Barkley had three groundballs and four caused turnovers, while sophomore Makenzie Magnotta had four groundballs and a caused turnover.
 
Junior Annemarie Cericola finished another stellar season with four groundballs and two caused turnovers. The PSAC's groundballs leader, Cericola led the Raiders and ranks among the Top 5 players in NCAA Division II with a career-high 68 groundballs. That total is the most by an SU player in a single season since Gayle Kuntzmann set a school record in leading Division II with 80 groundballs in the 2008 season.
 
Frymoyer's 12 saves, one shy of a season high, marks the fifth time in a match this season and the 25th time in her career that she recorded double-digit saves in a contest. She finishes with 580 saves, including at least 121 saves in each season. Her 2016 campaign marked a season best for fewest goals allowed. Frymoyer and Tanisha Joseph are SU's lone seniors wrapping up their collegiate careers.
