Bears Squander Lead, Fall to Louisville 21-14
3/14/2018 7:21:00 PM | Women's Lacrosse
MACON, Ga. – Kate Leone and Erica Coyne recorded three goals apiece as Mercer saw its three-game win streak snapped by a 21-14 loss to ACC foe Louisville at Five Star Stadium on Wednesday.
Â
HOW IT HAPPENED
Caitlin Smith and Kelly Hagerty set the tone for the first 12 minutes of the game, scoring back-to-back goals. One goal by Louisville sparked a five-goal Mercer rally that included goals by Smith and Coyne. Despite leading, 7-1, Mercer would surrender a 14-goal run to the visiting Cardinals, who took a 12-7 advantage into halftime and extend it further into the second half.
Â
Lily Morin's goal with 26:35 remaining in the second half stopped the Louisville run. The Bears would outscore Louisville over the final 22 minutes of play (6-4) thanks to goals by Lindsey Zeltwanger and Sami Van Slyke, but it was not enough to fight past the Cardinals.
Â
PLAYER OF THE GAME
Lindsey Zeltwanger notched a season-high two goals, two ground balls and nine draw controls. Zeltwanger also recorded a game-high five assists and was perfect on free position goals.
