INDIANA, Pa. -- The IUP women's lacrosse fell just short to Lock Haven, 13-12, Wednesday afternoon at Miller Stadium. 

Lock Haven jumped out to a 5-0 lead just before a weather delay halted play for an hour. Once action resumed, Kathryn Burke scored IUP's first goal off a free position attempt to finish off the first quarter. 

Early in the second quarter, the Bald Eagles extended their lead at 14:26 just before IUP netted four goals within three minutes. IUP tacked on two more around the 10-minute mark to take the lead, just before Lock Haven's goal at 6:29 tied the game at seven each. IUP's six second-quarter goals came from six different players, with two scored off free position shots. 

In the third quarter, Lock Haven regained the lead with a goal near the 10-minute mark, but Emme Mass quickly responded for IUP to even the score at 8-8. After another Lock Haven goal, Burke and Alexi Crosby found the net for IUP, giving the Hawks a 10-9 advantage. 

The Bald Eagles opened the fourth quarter with three straight goals before Burke's final goal at 7:08 put IUP back within one, 12-11. Julia Steere added a final goal with just eight seconds remaining, but the Hawks came up just short, falling to Lock Haven 13-12.
