HTML BOX SCORE

INDIANA, PA - Grace Kelleher (Rockville Centre, N.Y./South Side) tallied a team-high seven points on six goals and an assist, and Angela DiPasquale (Paramus, N.J./Paramus) recorded a career-high 19 saves in goal, but the Bloomsburg University women's lacrosse team fell 15-11 to 25th-ranked Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) action Saturday afternoon. The Huskies fall to 10-5 overall, and 6-4 in the PSAC with the loss.

Kelleher was sensational early for Bloomsburg, notching a pair of goals and an assist in the opening 18 minutes of the first half, but two goals apiece from Adriana Greco and Ally Burrows and a score from Leah Hunter would give the Crimson Hawks a 5-4 lead with 11:23 to play in the period. Cailyn Gormley (Springfield, Pa./Springfield) scored at the 7:55 mark to knot it at 5-5, but Burrows and Shannon Hartigan would bookend a Hannah Jaskuta (Gilbertsville, Pa./Boyertown Area) goal to give IUP a 7-6 lead at the half.

The Crimson Hawks lead ballooned to four midway through the second stanza thanks to back-to-back goals from Victoria Kerkovich and another goal from Burrows, but Bloomsburg punched back with a pair of goals from Kelleher and Jaskuta to pull within two with 13:03 to play. The rally would end there, however, as the Crimson Hawks would outscore the Huskies 4-2 over the final 11:20 to salt away the home victory.

In addition to Kelleher's seven points, Jaskuta finished with three points on two goals and an assist, while Anna Dempsey (Pottstown, Pa./Owen J. Roberts) had a goal, two assists, and a team-high five draw controls. Burrows tallied a game-high eight points on four goals and four assists for IUP.
