TAMPA, Fla. – The University of Tampa women's lacrosse team defeated Lynn for the second time this season to advance to the NCAA Quarterfinals.
How It Happened
-
Tampa struck first after Sarah Engle found Kaylee VanVladricken just fifty seconds in.
-
Sia Markowski would double the Spartans' lead with just over eight minutes remaining in the first quarter.
- Lynn would net its first goal of the game with a little over two minutes to play in the quarter off a free position, but freshman Maddie Szyluk would respond to head into the second up two.
-
The Fighting Knights would tally the next goal of the game, cutting the Spartans' lead to just one.
- However, a second-quarter hat trick from senior Sophi Wrisk and goals from Markowski and Szyluk would put Tampa up by four at the half.
-
The third quarter saw only two goals total, one coming from each team, so the Fighting Knights' deficit would remain the same heading into the fourth quarter.
-
After Isabel McGarvey opened up the scoring in the final quarter of play after a feed from Christina Sato, the game would be delayed due to lightning.
-
Lynn would respond with two goals, but Tampa would follow suit and score two of its own, keeping the game out of reach.

-
Goalie Savvy Barbosa tallied 14 saves, including seven in the first quarter.
-
Szyluk and Wrisk each recorded hat tricks.
-

-
