No. 7 Women's Lacrosse Falls in the NCAA Quarterfinals to No. 5 Salisbury, 12-8

SALISBURY, Md. - The fifth-ranked Salisbury Sea Gulls ended No. 7 Washington and Lee University's women's lacrosse season with a 12-8 win in the NCAA Women's Lacrosse Tournament quarterfinals.

SU (17-3) used a pair of 4-1 quarters, in the second and third, to pull away from the Generals (18-4) and advance to the NCAA Final Four next weekend in Salem, Va.

The two teams split the opening ten goals. The Generals contingent was riding high as W&L went out ahead 4-1 in the first stanza. Salisbury answer with their own 4-1 stanza in the second and again in the third.

All knotted up at five at half time, the Sea Gulls struck first out of the break to take a 6-5 lead at the 12:40 mark. W&L's Alex Petras then matched that score to tie up the contest at 6-all.

Five scoreless minutes passed and finally, on a wild 7v4 situation in favor of the Sea Gulls, Camryn Pepper found Mary Hanzsche for what would prove to be the goal needed to put SU back on top and help the Sea Gulls head back to Virginia's Championship City.

With 3:22 and with seven seconds on the clock, two unanswered SU scores from Caroline Knight capped the third period.

In the final stanza, the two teams were scoreless for the opening 10 minutes. W&L co-captain Shannon Timoney was able to break up the quarter's blank slate when Claire Horner spotted the senior cutting across the middle. Timoney caught the pass right-handed and found the back of the net with a Sports Center worthy back handed twizzler shot. The ball rose from low to high and brought the Generals back within two scores, 9-7.

The hosts scored the next three goals to go up 12-7 before Hanna Bishop stopped the bleeding and scored on a player-up opportunity at 3:07 to cap the afternoon's scoring on both sides of the field.
