ROCHESTER, NY – The Rochester Women's Lacrosse team looked like they had a chance to pull off an upset over 17th ranked Ithaca in the first 30 minutes of play on Wednesday before the Bombers took control and outscored the Yellowjackets 13-3 in the second half for the 19-9 victory.
The first half was based around possession time and defense as both teams scored six goals to head into halftime all knotted up.

Ithaca scored the next two with under ten minutes to play in the first to tie it at four. The teams traded goals over the final two minutes of the half to go into the break 6-6.
After a quick Rochester goal by Regan to open the second half, the UR offense stalled and Ithaca kicked it into high gear, scoring seven unanswered goals to take a commanding 13-7 lead. Rochester netted two in a row with just over 18 minutes to play, but Ithaca stormed right back with six straight goals to end the game and walk away with their second Liberty League win of the season.
Regan led Rochester in scoring, netting 3-4 shots. Madeline Mullholand added two goals and four draw controls while Madeline Levy also had two goals with an assist. Jamison Seabury scored one and assisted on two more. Seabury also had five draw controls to lead UR. Kendra Jones scored one goal for the Yellowjackets.
