Box Score ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON, N.Y. - By the time the Bard College women's lacrosse team figured out how to score against the University of Rochester, it was almost too late.

The Raptors were down, 7-0, and there were just five minutes and 37 seconds left in the first half. Rochester was dominating draw controls, ground balls, shots ... just about every category there is.

Bard responded. The Raptors scored twice before the break, then three more times in the first 10 minutes of the second half. It was 7-5, and it was now a game.

Rochester's freshman goalie, Maddie Elia (Thousand Oaks, CA) made a key save on a shot by Stephanie LaMont a few minutes later, and then the Yellowjackets scored three times in the next six minutes en route to a 14-7 Liberty League victory.
