Box Score

Bobcats Held a 6-2 halftime lead before host Fairfield rallied back to 9-8 victory

FAIRFIELD, Conn. — The Quinnipiac women's lacrosse team got off to a hot start against its in-state rival on Wednesday afternoon but could not finish it off as Fairfield scored nine of the game's 11 second-half goals to rally for a 9-8 victory over the Bobcats on Wednesday afternoon.

Quinnipiac flew out to a 6-2 halftime advantage thanks to three goals from Mia Delmond and a pair from her sister, EllaGrace Delmond, while Shannon Alden made five saves on seven shots on cage to give the Bobcats a halftime cushion.

The defending MAAC regular season champions would rally, however, running back to a 9-7 advantage in the fourth. The Bobcats were able to cut it to 9-8 with two minutes left thanks to a coast-to-coast goal from EllaGrace Delmond.

Emily Keegan appeared to force a turnover and give the Bobcats possession after a timeout, but an offsides whistle as the horn blew gave Fairfield the ball back and the ability to run out the clock.
