READING, Pa. – Junior Hailey Kimble (Corning, N.Y./Corning-Painted Post) scored three of her team-high five goals in the second half and the Lycoming College women's lacrosse team held Alvernia University scoreless over the final 6:14 to secure a 16-15 MAC Commonwealth victory on Wednesday night, April 24.
 
Senior Kelly McGinniss (Randolph, N.J./Randolph) broke the NCAA all-divisions record for draw controls in a season, as she scooped up 17 in the game to give her 224 on the season, breaking the mark of 217 set by Syracuse's Kayla Treanor (2016). She also posted four scores and dished out two assists, giving her 75 goals on the season.
 
Kimble scored her third goal of the second half to extend the Warrior lead to 15-12 with 15:37 to go. Alvernia (4-11 overall, 1-6 MAC Commonwealth), however, scored two goals in the next nine minutes before freshman Erika Boyer (East Greenville, Pa./Upper Perkiomen) came from behind the net and faked everyone for a score with 6:33 left. Erika Whitmoyer scored 19 seconds later for Alvernia, setting the stage for a dramatic stand from Lycoming's defense.
 
With the Warriors (4-11 overall, 2-5 MAC Commonwealth) playing a man-down with 2:22 remaining, Alvernia was able to fire off four shots, but the Lycoming defense stood their ground and ran out the remainder of the clock following a ground ball pick up by senior Kim Rutherford (Phoenixville, Pa./Phoenixville Area).
 
Kimble scored five goals on a game-high 12 shots and picked up a ground ball. Sophomore Cecilia Massey (Middletown, Del./Hodgson Vo-Tech) notched a hat trick, picked up a ground ball and caused two turnovers. Senior Thamina Peti (York, Pa./West York Area) found the back of the net twice and Boyer and Emma Lehr (Danville, Pa./Danville Area) each scored once.
 
The Warriors were a perfect 9-for-9 in clear attempts and outshot the Golden Wolves, 40-32.
 
The Golden Wolves scored four straight goals to earn their largest lead of the night, 5-1, early in the first half before the Warriors countered with a 5-0 run with goals coming from Lehr, Kimble, Massey and two from McGinniss to take their first lead, 6-5.
 
Massey scored on a free position shot to end a 2-0 Alvernia run and knot the game back at seven. The teams continued to exchange blows, as Kimble and Peti connected on their second goals of the night to counter two Alvernia goals and head to the break tied at nine.
 
In net, sophomore Bailey Parchesky (Painted Post, N.Y./Corning-Painted Post) made two saves in the final 30 minutes of action to earn the win after relieving freshman Jordyn Altland (Hanover, Pa./South Western), who made five saves in the first half.
 
Kathrine Giannaras made 13 saves in the first 57:13 minutes of action before Samantha Rothman finished with two saves. Erika Whitmoyer finished with a game-high six goals and dished out one assist to lead the offense.
 
The Warriors wrap up the 2019 season with a trip to Hood College on Saturday, April 27, for a 1 p.m. MAC Commonwealth start at Thomas Athletic Field.
