Â
BRIEF: The fourth-ranked Indiana Tech women's lacrosse team got six points from freshman
Kristina Scott, but it wasn't enough to overcome No. 2 Davenport as the Warriors fell in overtime, 15-13 at DU Turf Field on Saturday afternoon. The game was a de facto WHAC regular season championship game as the Warriors were the only team with a chance to finish in first. With one regular season game remaining, the road to the NWLL tournament will now go through Davenport.

FLOW:
Scott opened the scoring with an unassisted goal and answered a DU tally with her second of the contest. The Panthers and Warriors traded scores with
Alexa Winter putting Tech up 4-3 before the home team scored five consecutive markers for an 8-4 lead. Winter added her second goal of the contest just before half to cut the deficit to three.
Â
The Panthers opened their largest lead of the game with a pair of second half goals, but a pair of
Sam Vikstrom tallies highlighted four unanswered goals for the Warriors to make it a one score game, 10-9. The Panthers pushed the lead back to two, but a pair of Scott markers tied the game at 11.
Lauren Allard scored a goal in between two DU tallies to make it a 13-12 game with four minutes to play.
Â
In the final minute, with 32 seconds to play, Scott found fellow freshman Vikstrom for the game-tying goal, sending the game to overtime. The home team scored first, two minutes into the extra period and the Orange and Black hit the post on a free position shot and DU goalie Lena Henderson made a save in the final minute before DU added a final tally with 10 seconds to play for the final margin.
Â
