BOX SCORE Radford, Va. - Senior Holly Lawrence (Damascus, Md./Damascus) (Damascus, Md.) scored a career-high six goals and junior Sarah Mahon (Malverne, N.Y./Kellenberg Memorial) (Malverne, N.Y.) added three as the Saint Francis lacrosse team (1-1) erased a halftime deficit to record a 15-10 victory at Radford.

Concheck's Reaction

"Radford is an athletic team that has improved a lot since last season," said head coach Kara Concheck. "We controlled the draw and possessed the ball well, which allowed us to get some great looks on attack. Our second half 10 goal surge helped us finish out the game strong."

Turning Point

Senior Blair Rosenberg (Manorville, N.Y./Eastport South Manor) (Manorville, N.Y.) scored a big goal late in the first half to pull Saint Francis within one, 6-5, at the half. The Red Flash capitalized on the momentum by coming out firing on all cylinders to open the second half. Senior Sydney Shearer (Morgantown, W. Va./Morgantown) (Morgantown, W. Va.) scored two goals in the first four minutes to help Saint Francis build an 8-6 lead. The Red Flash would go on to score six of the first seven goals in the half to take an 11-7 lead.
