GREENSBURG, Pa. – The Lock Haven lacrosse team lead on the road for the entirety of the first three quarters, but 16^th-ranked Seton Hill used a late surge in the second half to steal a 14-12 victory in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Championship quarterfinal on Tuesday afternoon.

Seton Hill went on to outscore the Bald Eagles 9-4 in the second half to complete the come-from-behind victory.

The Haven continued to shut out the Griffins and extended its lead to 2-0 off the first goal of the game from Baskot.
