TicketsCINCINNATI - The University of Cincinnati lacrosse team used an 11-goal barrage in the second half to stage a 16-14 comeback win over Stetson on a frigid and breezy afternoon at Gettler Stadium.
The Bearcats (2-4) trailed 7-5 at the half and traded goals early in the second frame with the Hatters (1-3). Down 12-8 with 17:03 left, a feed from Monica Borzillo to Gianna Napoletano was the first of four-straight goals for the UC in less than two minutes as the Bearcats tied things up at 12-12 with 15:34 left.
All told, the UC run was 7-1 over a 14-minute span which was capped by Taylor Gysin's brace on a feed from Kate Carney with 4:12 to go with handed UC a 15-13 lead it would not relinquish.
UC returns to action on Sunday, traveling to Kent State for a make up of the Feb. 7 matchup which was postponed by snow. The Bearcats and Flashes are set for a 3 p.m. ET first draw.
