For the second time in three days, the Oswego State women's lacrosse team built up a double-digit lead early in the second half, only to see it shrink to single digits as the defense fought off a 10-1 run by Elmira College in the game's final 18 minutes to hold on to a 15-13 victory in non-conference action on Thursday, April 16 in Elmira.

Oswego (7-5), who extended its win streak to three games, held a 5-3 lead with 10:25 to play in the first half before finishing the half with five straight goals to take a 10-3 halftime lead, then opened the second half with four consecutive goals in the opening 9:40 to take a commanding 14-3 lead, forcing a continuing running game clock.

The Soaring Eagles (2-10) started their run with five unanswered goals to cut Oswego's lead to 14-8 with 9:12 left in the game. After the Lakers scored a goal a player down after a yellow card, Elmira went on another 5-0 run, with three scores coming on the extra-player advantage, to pull to within two scores. Elmira won the draw control after the score, but the Lakers got the ground ball seconds later to run out the clock.

Three players tallied hat tricks for Oswego, with junior Jessica Zenzel (Johnson City) being the team's top point scorer with three goals and an assist.  Senior Rachel Ventresca (Syracuse/Henninger) and junior Erin Robson (Orillia, ONT/Orillia District) also tallied three goals apiece, while freshman Rachael Raffa (Kings Park) finished with two goals and an assist.

Senior Jackie Dougherty (Lindenhurst) and freshmen Amanda Carlile (Webster/Webster Thomas), Kelly Collins (Fairport), and Erin Cummings each added single scores, while senior goalkeeper Shannon O'Brien (Syracuse/West Genesee) made 11 saves in playing the full 60 minutes.
