DAVIDSON, N.C. – Down by four goals at halftime to the Detroit Mercy Titans, the Presbyterian College women's lacrosse team scored 13 times in the second half in a National Lacrosse Conference Tournament consolation match to come away with a historic 18-17 win.

PC finishes the year at 5-13, setting a new record for wins in the Division I era under head coach Kristina Llanes. Detroit wraps its season at 4-14.

The Blue Hose rallied from a 9-5 deficit at halftime with a nine-goal run to open the second half en route to 13 goals in the period. The win marks the first win against Detroit in the last six attempts and the third NLC Tournament win in program history.

Lauren Lefeber (Waxhaw, N.C.) set a new career-high with four goals to lead the Blue Hose in scoring. Catherine Ellis (Charlotte, N.C.) also boasted a hat trick and four PC players posted two goals, part of nine different members of the Blue Hose to score on the day. Ellis also controlled a team-high seven draws in the game.

Goalkeeper Susan England (Bethesda, Md.) made 13 saves, including several stops that limited Detroit to 6-of-13 on free position shots. One free-position save came in the final minute of the game on a chance that would have pulled the Titans within one. England, Liz Davis (Alpharetta, Ga.) and Melina Vasconcellos (Waxhaw, N.C.) led the squad with three ground balls.

Down 9-5 at the half, the Blue Hose wasted little time opening up the scoring the second half, scoring the first nine goals of the stanza and taking a 14-9 lead after the first 10 minutes.

A free position attempt 33 seconds into the frame set up Hartford to assist Kirstin Stenoien (Houston, Texas) for a PC goal that cut the Detroit lead to three, 9-6.

Ellis completed a hat trick on her third goal of the day, coming 2:19 after the second half began on a Jaime Beamish (Memphis, Tenn.) assist. Two more goals from Shannon Hartford (Georgetown, Mass.) and Lefeber erased the Titans' advantage and brought the two sides square with 26:25 left to play.

Lefeber tacked on another one for her first hat trick of the season less than a minute later, cutting in close on a Renee Blais (Alpharetta, Ga.) assist to give PC its first lead of the day, 10-9.

The run continued as Brianne Ward (Cincinnati, Ohio) found the net for the first time on Saturday, blowing a shot by Valentine on a free position attempt to extend the Blue Hose lead to two, 11-9. Ward scored again less than three minutes later from another free position shot to put PC up three, 12-9.

Laura Meade (Acworth, Ga.) then joined in on the scoresheet, cutting to the left side of the net and taking a high shot that grazed a few Detroit sticks on its way into the top of the net. The goal marked the eighth straight for the Blue Hose

Katie Prisco (West Babylon, N.Y.) finished off the run by way of her second goal of the day to put PC ahead by five, 14-9, ending a scoring streak that spanned nine goals and 9:53 of game time.

Detroit halted the run thanks to an Emily Boissonneault goal, followed by a Titans free position goal with 14:14 remaining to make the score 14-11 in favor of the Blue Hose.

PC put an end to Detroit's possible rally as Lefeber struck for the fourth time, extending her season-high and restoring the team's advantage to four.

The teams swapped a goal apiece as Beamish posted her first goal of the day after a Detroit score. Beamish's tally pushed PC back to a four-goal lead and sparked another run for the seventh-seeded team.

Stenoien connected on her second of the day with 10:53 remaining and Davis scored her third of the season 34 seconds later to give the Blue Hose their biggest lead of the contest, 18-12.

Detroit began to close the gap, scoring five straight goals to pull within one with 41.5 seconds left. A crucial draw control helped PC seal the win, 18-17.

PC controlled 22 draws to Detroit's 15 and collected 20 ground balls to the Titans' 19. Both sides tallied 40 shots.

Detroit drew first blood, scoring 3:32 after the opening draw despite three shots on goal from the Blue Hose. The Titans added two more in the first nine and a half minutes before PC answered.

With 20:27 left in the first half, Ward sent a pass from behind the right post to a waiting Prisco, who sent a bouncing shot into the net for her 20^th goal of the season and brought the Blue Hose within two, 3-1.

A Titans goal put Detroit back up by three but PC would respond with a three-goal rally to pull even. Ellis drew a foul on her way to the net and received a free position opportunity. The freshman wound up and fired a shot high that beat Detroit goalkeeper Alycsa Valentine to cut the lead in half, 4-2.

Lefeber notched her ninth of the year 55 seconds later to narrow the gap to one. Lefeber's high shot from in close found the twine to make the score 4-3 with 15:02 left in the first half.

Hartford completed the rally three minutes after Lefeber's score to tie up the game at 4-4. Meade sprinted upfield and lobbed a pass to Hartford in front of the net where the sophomore converted her chance. The goal marked Hartford's 27^th of the year.

A Boissonneault goal for Detroit broke the deadlock and the Titans added two more to take a 7-4 lead as the half wound down.

PC wasn't finished scoring in the first half, however, as Ellis notched her second of the game on an impressive individual effort with 3:44 before the halftime whistle. Ellis launched a shot into the far right side of the net after a twisting, turning effort to get past the defense guarding the goal and brought PC within one, 7-5.

A pair of Detroit goals made the score 9-5 for the Titans at halftime, setting up PC's milestone run.
