How It Happened
ANNVILLE, Pa. – Lebanon Valley's Women's Lacrosse team dropped a 17-7 decision to No. 6 York (Pa.) on Saturday afternoon in Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) Commonwealth action. The Flying Dutchmen fell to 4-5, 2-3 MACC and the Spartans improved to 7-1, 4-1 MACC.
 
LVC was the first to get on the board just over two minutes into the first half when Emily Beard netted an unassisted goal to give the Dutchmen the early lead. York answered, however, in a big way by scoring seven consecutive goals to take a 7-1 lead with 11:40 to go. Erin Zieber then stopped the spurt with an unassisted tally at 9:06, but York came right back with two straight goals to go up 9-2. With 4:57 remaining in the opening half, Brittany Hathaway brought the Dutchmen to within six at 9-3, but the Spartans ended the half on a 3-0 run and took a 12-3 advantage into the second half.
 
After York's Rachel Della scored at 26:32 of the second to put the visitors ahead 13-3, Emily Haid netted her third of the year off an assist from Veronica Venezia to make it 13-4 game. In the end, the No. 6 team in the country extended its lead and the Dutchmen were unable to mount a comeback.
