BOX SCORE GARDEN CITY, N.Y. - A 4-0 run late in the second half propelled the No. 4 University of New Haven women's lacrosse team past No. 12 Saint Anselm, 15-14, in a Northeast-10 Championship Semifinal contest on Saturday afternoon at Adelphi's Motamed Field. The Chargers will meet the host and No. 1 nationally-ranked Panthers in tomorrow's NE-10 Championship Game at 3 p.m.
 
With the win, second-seeded New Haven improves to 16-2 on the season. The third-seeded Hawks fall to 13-4. The Chargers claimed the regular-season meeting in an equally thrilling fashion by a score of 12-10 on Kayo Field on April 5.

Marissa McDermott (Longmeadow, Mass./Wilbraham & Monson Academy) went the distance in goal and made five saves.
 
Kelly Pickett had a game-high five goals for the Hawks. Kelly Doherty added four goals and six draw controls. The Chargers held First Team All-Northeast-10 selection Marissa Daly scoreless on only two shots.

Pickett tallied the game's first two goals for the Hawks, before Campbell and Fisher responded in a span of 27 seconds to knot the contest at 2-2. After Doherty's first marker for Saint Anselm, the Chargers went on a 3-0 run with goals from McKee, Szymanski and Ackland as the Blue and Gold took their first lead of the afternoon at 5-3.
 
Each club added two goals mover the ensuing 2:20 before the Hawks ran off three in a row to climb back into the lead at 8-7. Szymanski's second tally of the half knotted the contest at 8-8, and Saint Anselm struck in the final minute to head into the locker room with a 9-8 edge.
 
The Hawks scored the first goal of the second half to reopen a two-goal lead before Campbell and Corinne Fisher went back-to-back to force a 10-10 deadlock. The two clubs traded markers again before the Hawks ripped off two scores to take a 13-11 advantage with 20:33 to play.
 
At that point, Marissa Fisher accounted for the next three goals, with the final tally of the hat trick staking New Haven to a 14-13 advantage with 14:41 left. Campbell added an insurance marker with 13:53 to go, and the Chargers' defense clamped down and dominated possession. After gaining control of the ball with 6:26 left, the Blue and Gold kept possession in their offensive half until just 32 seconds remained. Saint Anselm added a goal at the horn to round out the 15-14 final score.
 
The Chargers will return to Motamed Field tomorrow to meet the host Adelphi Panthers for the 2014 Northeast-10 Championship at 3 p.m.
