BLOOMSBURG. Pa. – The Bloomsburg lacrosse team dropped a tightly-contested 14-12 match to Millersville Saturday afternoon. The Huskies fall to 4-3 and 1-1 in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) East action, while the Marauders improve to 4-3 and 1-1 in the PSAC East.

Hayden Corcoran got the scoring going for both sides with a strike at the 12:10 mark on a free position shot, but 45 seconds later, sophomore Lauren Foley (Schwenksville, Pa./Perkiomen Valley) made her second save of the game and the 200th of her young career.

Following Foley's save, the Huskies had a successful clear, and freshman Julia Cote (Macungie, Pa./Emmaus) went to the cage and scored to tie the game at 1-1 with 10:40 to play. Cote's goal kicked off a three-goal run for the Huskie, including a goal from Madison Coyle (Williamstown, N.J./Williamstown) and Annie Rollins (Shamong, N.J./Seneca), to give BU a 3-1 lead with 6:17 to play in the first. The Marauders answered with two straight of their own to tie it at 3-3, but Kate Roberts (Lehman, Pa./Lake Lehman) picked up a ground ball off a save by Morgan Scott and immediately fired it past the Marauder net-minder to give BU a 4-3 lead with 3:21 to play.

Millersville responded with two more goals to take a 5-4 lead before Coyle scored with 36 seconds left before the first break to tie the game, 5-5, at the end of the first.

Roberts and Maya Fulmer (Collegeville, Pa./Perkiomen Valley) went back-to-back for the Huskies in the second quarter to give Bloomsburg a 7-5 lead, but Millersville closed the quarter on a four-goal run to take a 9-7 lead into halftime.

Coyle opened the third quarter with her third of the game and 12th of the season to cut the lead to one, 9-8, but two straight from Liv Genovese and Charlotte Lasack gave Millersville its largest lead of the game, 11-8, with 6:41 to play. Cote and Amanda Stoll (Farmingdale, N.Y./Farmingdale) scored two quick goals for the Huskies to get them back to within one, 11-10, with 2:18 to play in the third. Rachel Keeney won Millersville's next draw, immediately went to the cage, and scored to push the Marauder lead back to two, 12-10, with 1:32 to play.

Neither team found the back of the net in the first 10 minutes of the fourth quarter, but Coyle ended the scoreless streak with a free position shot goal at the 5:49 mark to cut the lead back to one, 12-11.  Ashlyn Simonetti and Cassidy Griffin (Lake Grove, N.Y./Sachem North) traded goals before Hayden Corcoran scored the game's final goal with 43 seconds to play to seal Millersville's 14-12 win.

Coyle finished the game with four goals and six draw controls, while Fulmer won four draws and Stoll won two. Roberts and Cote each had a pair of goals, Rollins finished with one goal and an assist, and Haley Williams (Garnet Valley, Pa./Garnet Valley) had a couple of assists.
