BLOOMSBURG – Senior Julie Falk (Millersville/Penn Manor) tallied five goals to power the Bloomsburg women's lacrosse team in a 12-7 victory over visiting Edinboro under sunny skies at Steph Pettit Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
 
The 18th-ranked Huskies improve to 7-3 overall on the season and 6-1 in PSAC competition and have now won seven of their last eight games. Edinboro, meanwhile, falls to 6-5, 3-5.
 
Falk added yet another strong day to her impressive career resume, scoring a hat trick or better for the sixth time this season, and finished just one off her season high of six goals registered last time out vs. Slippery Rock.
 
Taylor Turner (Corning, N.Y./Corning West) and Brigid Kyne (Newtown Square/Marple Newtown) each scored twice apiece as the Huskies dominated the pace of play, outshooting Edinboro by a 33-17 margin including a 19-9 tally during the second half.
 
Bloomsburg took a 6-3 lead into halftime, answering after Rebecca Martin became Edinboro's all-time career points leader with the game's first goal just 37 seconds into the game.
 
Bloomsburg ran off the next three goals as Patrice Coleman (Media/Penncrest ) tied the contest a little over a minute later following an assist from Turner. Turner then did the scoring herself at the 27:37 mark with an unassisted goal. Kyne completed the trio of goals with a free position shot into the net with 25:53 left in the half.
 
Emily Peters then brought Edinboro to a 3-3 tie with back-to-back goals, tying the score with 15:43 left in the opening half.
 
Carly Ball (Lansdale/North Penn) started an end-of-half run for the Huskies, however, with a goal at the 13:06 mark that was followed up by scored from Kyne and Falk before halftime.
 
The Fighting Scots pulled to within 6-5 with goals from Anna Purdy and Peters and still over 21 minutes left to play.
 
Marisa Moley (Phoenixville/Spring-Ford) ended Edinboro's uprising with an unassisted goal at the 19:49 mark, though, and Falk scored again just over a minute later for insurance.
 
Another goal from Purdy kept things interesting, making it an 8-6 score with just under 16 minutes left, but Falk scored twice in 31 seconds to stretch the lead to 10-6.
 
Purdy scored again with 6:14 remaining, but Turner and Falk scored the game's final two goals as the Huskies remained in control.
 
Abbey Burnett (Frederick, MD/Walkersville) picked up the win in net, making nine saves. Edinboro's Paige Skinner turned away 14 shots.

The Huskies travel to nationally ranked Seton Hill on Tuesday at 4 p.m.
