Spencerport exploded for 11 second half goals to turn a 5-4 halftime lead into a 17-10 girl’s lacrosse win as junior Erin Coykendall, committed to Northwestern, figured in on 11 of those tallies with four goals and seven assists.
The first half was a see-saw affair as neither team led or trailed by more than two goals. Sophomore Paige Pohleven took a pass from Natalie Choate to finish off a break and stake the Rangers to a 1-0 lead four minutes into the contest, but Brockport senior and University of Loyola-Maryland bound Leah Daly scored her first to tie the game 1-1.
Coykendall set up behind the net and fed Choate for the go-ahead tally at 6:54 of the first half and did the same for Olivia Wall five minutes later, who used a pump-fake to freeze the goalie.
Daly netted her second of the game on the next shift, but Choate countered at 15:44 to again put the Rangers up by two,
The Blue Devils rallied to tie the game 4-4 as Tori Lammes scored unassisted as did eighth-grader Maija Young after a turnover.
Coykendall scored with an assist from Camryn Sack, but Daly netted her third of the contest exactly one minute later to again tie the game 5-5.
Spencerport was awarded a free possession with 1.7 seconds remaining in the first half and Choate found the upper right corner of the net as the halftime horn sounded to put the Rangers ahead 6-5.
Each team tallied three times through the first six-plus minutes of the second half as the Rangers Pohleven found the back of the net while falling down and Coykendall scored twice countered by goals from the Blue Devils’ Lammes (2) and Daly.
The Rangers then took control scoring eight of the final ten goals. Lily DePalma scored twice and Sack once over a 2:08 span to put Spencerport ahead 12-8.
After another Daly tally for Brockport, the Rangers scored five unanswered goals as Pohleven completed her hat trick at 16:13, Choate netted her fourth and fifth of the contest, Coykendall took a pass from Sack and converted at 23:31 and the two combined again 45 seconds later—this time with Sack scoring.
With seven seconds remaining, Brockport’s Daly scored an unassisted goal—the 200th of her high school career. Earlier in the second half Blue Devils senior goalie Gabby LoGiudice made the 100th save of her career.
Spencerport improved their record to 7-1 with the win.
