SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. – The Shippensburg University lacrosse team rallied from an 8-3 deficit in the first quarter on Wednesday to defeat IUP in overtime, as a golden goal by junior Sara Vosburg delivered the Raiders a 16-15 victory over the Crimson Hawks on a chilly, rainy day at Robb Sports Complex.
 
Shippensburg (2-7) allowed eight goals in the opening 12:06 but recovered and allowed just seven goals the rest of the way, including only two tallies against in the final 16 minutes.
 
IUP (4-5) led 10-5 with 11:30 to go in the first half but was held scoreless for the remainder of the second quarter by the Raiders, who got within 10-8 at the intermission. SU took its first lead of the game, 12-11, at the 7:41 mark of the third quarter. The score was tied 13-13 after three quarters.
 
The Crimson Hawks took a 15-13 lead with 7:58 to go but did not find the back of the net for the remainder of the contest.

Junior Jamie Carvin got the Raiders within one at the 5:06 mark. SU was still behind entering the final minute of play, after a caused turnover by Vosburg behind the attacking cage, head coach Brooke DellaValle called a timeout. On the restart, the ball made its way around to sophomore Ali Pioli, who found a lane and drove to the cage to score her second goal of the game (and the season) to tie it with 48 seconds left in regulation.
 
IUP won the opening draw of overtime but threw the ball away while in the offensive zone. After a successful clear, an IUP penalty resulted in a green card (the 12th combined card of the contest) to give SU a one-player advantage. Vosburg capitalized, driving to the cage and sneaking a shot into the back of the net for her second career game-winning goal and the 80th goal of her career.
 
Vosburg finished with four goals and an assist. She has now scored four or more goals three times this season. She also recorded a career-high five caused turnovers to go along with three groundballs.
 
Sophomore Keegan Dings tied her career-high with four goals and led the team with a career-high seven draw controls.

Carvin finished with three goals, giving her a hat trick in three straight contests. Freshman Olivia Glinski posted a pair of first-half goals and three groundballs.
 
Pioli had a sensational game, filling up the stat sheet with a season-best four points (two goals, two assists) to go along with five draw controls, four groundballs and a caused turnover. Sophomore Shannon Wood rounded out the Raider goal-scorers.
 
Sophomore Grace DeMarzio put forth her usual yeoman's work on the defensive end. She led the Raiders with five groundballs and had three caused turnovers. Goalkeeper Kayla Vosburg finished with 11 saves.
  
IUP got five goals, five draw controls and an assist from Chantal Jimenez, while Macenzie Haragos and Alexi Crosby each scored hat tricks. Emme Mass had six of IUP's 19 draw controls.
 
SU's 16 goals are its most against a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) opponent since April 13, 2022, a span of 24 games against schools from either the Eastern or Western Division.
 
Shippensburg hits the road Saturday to face No. 5 East Stroudsburg at noon at Whitenight Field.
