The Shippensburg University lacrosse team nearly completed a comeback Saturday night at Millersville but came up short, dropping a 14-13 decision to the host Marauders in a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern Division matchup played under the lights at Chryst Field at Biemesderfer Stadium.
 
Saturday's game was played at night due to the Millersville Metrics track meet taking place during the day at the Biemesderfer and marked the team's third one goal loss in East play this season.

SU scored in the opening minute of the third quarter before both teams proceeded to go scoreless for the next 13 minutes of play. Millersville scored twice in final 42 seconds of the frame to lead 12-8.
 
The Raiders reeled off four of the next five goals to get within one, 13-12, with 4:47 remaining in regulation. Millersville scored at the 3:30 mark before the Raiders answered again with 1:43 left, but the subsequent 14-13 score ended up being the game's final margin.
