ERIE, Pa. - A big second quarter and a seven-point performance by Chloe Borland helped the IUP women's lacrosse team defeat Gannon 20-13 on Saturday night. 

Borland scored five goals and added a pair of assists as the Crimson Hawks hit the 20-goal mark for the second time this season. 

IUP improved to 10-4 overall and 7-2 in PSAC West play, remaining in a tie for first in the division.

Sarah Reustle: 4 goals, 1 assist, 8 draw controls, 2 caused turnovers
Chantal Jimenez: 3 goals, 7 draw controls

How it happened
The Hawks raced out to a 5-1 lead in the game's first 11 minutes before Gannon rallied with five straight goals to go up 6-5 early in the second quarter. 

IUP then scored four times over a 3:28 time span, with Borland scoring twice, to go up 9-6. The Lady Knights stopped the run with a goal but the Hawks came back with scored by Borland, Demi Hecker, and Kulp - with three seconds left - to take a 12-7 lead at the half. IUP outshot Gannon 14-5, had a 7-3 advantage in draw controls, and held a 7-2 advantage in the scoring column in the second quarter. 

That five-goal differential is the closest GAnnon would come as the Hawks led by as many as eight in the fourth quarter to come away with the win.

The Hawks are off for a week and head to Edinboro next Saturday.
