LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – The Lock Haven University lacrosse team (3-7, 1-4 PSAC) fell to No. 9 East Stroudsburg (9-2, 6-0 PSAC), 21-11, in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) action on Tuesday afternoon at Charlotte Smith Field.
 
Lock Haven looked poised to pull off the shocker over the No. 9 Warriors in the first half. On the back of five first half goals from Kate Hooper (Perth, Western Australia/St. Mary Anglican Girls School) the Bald Eagles trailed by a slim 10-9 margin at the half. East Stroudsburg, however, would pull away in the second half thanks to seven goals from Krista Mitarotonda.
 
Offensively, Hooper finished her day leading The Haven attack netting six goals. Caitlin Morrow (Massapequa, N.Y./Massapequa) and Zoe Waddell (Catonsville, Md./Catonsville) each scored twice for the Bald Eagles. Loren Librizzi (Miller Place, N.Y./Miller Place) dished out a team high two assists.
 
Lauren Girardi (Watertown, N.Y./Watertown) made save after save in an attempt to keep The Haven within touching distance and totaled 16 saves on the day.
 
LHU will be back in action on Saturday, April 6 when they travel to Mercyhurst. That game is scheduled for a 1 p.m. start
