Bobcats Erase Six-Goal Deficit, Fall in Overtime
3/4/2023 5:39:00 PM | Women's Lacrosse
HAMDEN, Conn. — Down as many as six in the second quarter, the Quinnipiac University women's lacrosse team clawed its way back even on multiple occasions, including an Amy Nicoloff tying goal with 34 seconds left, but visiting Bryant would spoil the day with an game-winning goal 41 seconds into overtime to win 13-12 in Hamden on Saturday afternoon.
Nicoloff started the comeback with 12:14 left in the second after the Bulldogs had claimed their largest lead of the afternoon as Quinnipiac slowly made their way back.
Passing the midway point of the third down 10-6, the Bobcats scored five of the next six, to knot the proceedings at 11.
After the teams traded goals in the final 2:25, Bryant won the opening draw and scored to take the extra-session victory.
STATS AND NOTES
Quinnipiac goes back to the road on Wednesday afternoon, taking on Holy Cross at 4 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon in Worcester, Mass. The game can be seen live on ESPN+.
