<\/p>\n SCRANTON, Pa. \u2013 The sixth-ranked Franklin & Marshall women’s lacrosse team was downed by No. 25 Scranton on Saturday as the Royals scored with just three seconds remaining of the 8-7 final between the nationally-ranked squads. Myranda Beebe<\/a> tallied a hat trick for the\u00a0Diplomats who saw five different players find the back of the goal.<\/p>\n The Diplomats held a 15-12 advantage in shots on goal, but eight saves from Scranton’s Eva Guerino loomed large in the final score. Sara DiGiovanni<\/a> made six stops in goal for the Diplomats as she also led the team in caused turnovers (2) and ground balls (4).<\/p>\n Franklin & Marshall started the game on a 3-0 run as Beebe, Julia Carbon<\/a>, and Alexandra Proefrock<\/a> all scored during\u00a0the first five-plus minutes of game action. The Royals did not score their first goal until the 5:12 mark of the first quarter, but were able to keep the Diplomats’ attack at bay and allowed\u00a0just one goal during the second quarter as F&M took a 4-3 lead into the break.<\/p>\n Blaine Cosby<\/a> scored less than two minutes into the third quarter, but Scranton tied the game for the first time all afternoon with a pair of tallies just 2:10 apart. That 5-5 tie set the stage for a back-and-forth fourth quarter that featured two more ties. Sophie Harris<\/a> took a feed from Devyn Crone<\/a> to give F&M the lead with 10:35 remaining in regulation time, only to be answered just 33 seconds later.<\/p>\n Beebe capped her hat trick when she gave the Diplomats a 7-6 led with 3:05 remaining off the pass from Carbon. Once again, Scranton would not go away quietly as the Royals tied the game just 67 seconds later. Tied at seven-all, the Diplomats won the ensuing draw but lost it via a turnover and went a player down with 1:43 left in regulation time. The Royals eventually scored just before the final buzzer in the 8-7 final which was the first time Scranton led all afternoon.<\/p>\n Julia Carbon<\/a> won a game-high 10 draw controls in addition to her two-point day on the attack. Her efforts helped the team to a 13-4 advantage in draw controls. Sophia Geibel<\/a> and Harris also caused two turnovers to tie with DiGiovanni for the team lead in that category.<\/p>\n Women’s lacrosse will now have two weeks to prepare for its next contest as the team is set to travel to Middletown, Conn. where a showdown with Wesleyan (Conn.) awaits. That contest is set for a 12 p.m. noon opening draw on Saturday, March 7.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
