LOCK HAVEN, Pa. –The Lock Haven University lacrosse team (9-8, 6-6 PSAC) needed a win to keep its Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) postseason hopes alive, but No. 17 Mercyhurst University (11-4, 9-3) held on for a 10-5 victory despite a strong second-half push by the Bald Eagles.
 
LHU trailed 6-1 at halftime, but the Bald Eagles never quit and scored four second-half goals on 14 second-half shots.
