FRESNO, Calif. – The Fresno State women's lacrosse team fought back from a halftime deficit to defeat LIU Brooklyn 15-12 in Friday's home opener. The Bulldogs were led by freshman duo Marina Mayo and Tiffiny Wallace with four goals apiece.
"We've talked all preseason about fighting through adversity and the team really listened to us at halftime and came out strong in the second half," said head coach Jessica Giglio. "They made the adjustments that we as coaching staff asked and held LIU Brooklyn scoreless for a majority of the second half. We can't ask for more than that."
Fresno State (1-0) has now won four of its last five season openers, and recorded their third consecutive win in home openers.
In addition to the eight goals by Mayo and Wallace, sophomore Sarah Bloise logged three goals for the Bulldogs. Junior Nicole Ortlieb added a pair of goals. Sophomore Ryleigh Bone and Senior Kyleigh Westgarth tacked on a goal each to round out Fresno State's 15 goals on the night.
The Bulldogs put the first dent in the scoreboard in the first 40 seconds of the game when Tiffiny Wallace drove in to score her first collegiate goal.
LIU Brooklyn (0-1) quickly answered back with a goal from Kathryn Harvey.
The Blackbirds ended the first half on a 6-0 run. The Bulldogs were down 10-4 at the half before making a huge comeback in the second half.
Wallace opened up scoring in the second half to spark an 11-0 run for the Bulldogs. Fresno State held LIU Brooklyn scoreless for 22 minutes in the second half.
Fresno State scored their final goal with 10:37 left in the game to put the Bulldogs up 15-10 over the Blackbirds.
LIU Brooklyn scored two more goals before time expired for a final score of 15-12.
As a team, Fresno State recorded 22 ground balls and 21 shots.
Freshman Laurel Maunder protected the cage for the Bulldogs for all 60 minutes, recording six saves.
What's next?Â
Fresno State goes on the road for two games at Stetson (Feb. 16) and Mercer (Feb. 19) before returning home to face Oregon at the Soccer and Lacrosse Field Sunday, Feb. 26 at 1 p.m. PT for their MPSF conference opener.
