ST. DAVIDS, Pa.– Meghan Kosmides had a day with a pair of milestones, but Eastern University Women's Lacrosse needed some 11th hour heroics to rally from a late deficit and earn a 14-13 home win over Westminster College in the first meeting between the two programs. Alison Andres scored the game winner off a feed from Caitlyn Quizon with .6 seconds to play.

How It Happened:
The Titans (1-6) rallied with five-straight goals over an 11-minute stretch to grab a 13-12 lead with three minutes on the clock. The Titans, at that point, held an 8-7 edge in second-half draw controls. Kosmides collected the next draw, her tenth of the game to give the Eagles a huge possession. Kosmides scored her 100th career goal early in the game and shortly after became Eastern's career lead in draw controls. Just three games into her third and final season, Kosmides is poised to put that number well beyond the previous mark of 221. She now has 227 draw controls in her career. Julie Haggan '18 held the record.

With the possession, the Eagles settled into an offensive set. Sabrina Campbell took a flip from Kosmides outside the fan and beat her mark to a spot for a right-handed shot. The senior midfielder fired strong shot to to the low corner for her second tally of the year and a 13-13 tie.

Kosmides pulled the ensuing draw, but it was Andres that came out with the loose ball. The Eagles took a timeout, but there was still over 40 seconds difference between the game clock and the possession clock. That changed when Quizon drove to goal and fired a shot. The rookie attack had her shot stopped, but she dug out the rebound for a new 90 seconds. With the new clock, the Eagles could hold the ball for the final shot.

Stephanie Arnold drove at goal with 20 seconds left, but her shot went wide. Quizon then earned a free position attempt from goal line extended with 12 seconds to play. Rather than shoot from a bad angle, Quizon worked up toward the top of the fan and drew a double-team. Andres slid into the space in front of the goal and turned and fired to beat the clock for the win.

The game had big runs for both teams. The Eagles (2-1) gave up the first goal of the game and then scored six in a row to lead 6-1 with 11 minutes left int he first half. Kosmides scored the first two goals of the game on free position shots to hit the century mark for her career. Andrea Collesidis holds the Eastern career record with 342. Mackenzie Dix scored twice in the run and Quizon and Molly Dowling also added goals in the burst.

Dix added one more between a pair of Titan goals finished with a career high six goals in the game. The Eagles led 7-3 at the break despite losing the battle at the draws by a 7-3 margin.

After the two teams traded goals to start the second half, the Titans tied the game at 8-8 on four-goal burst. Bria Braddock scored twice in the burst. She finished with a game-high seven goals, but she was only able to score once in the final 15 minutes of the contest. Stephanie Druid spent the majority of the latter part of the game locking Braddock off from the play.

Dix put the Eagles up 9-8 on a free position shot, and the Eagles built a 12-4 lead as Dowling, Dix and Kosmides scored in quick succession. The four goals came in less than two minutes. The Titans answered with five straight to set up the late heroics.

Campbell finished with a team-high three assists. Arnold led the Eagles with five ground balls and Kosmides forced five turnovers. Libby Daniskas stopped 15 shots to pick up the win.

Coach Gainer Says:
"We came out strong today, but we hit a bit of a lull at halftime. As a team, we showed tremendous fight and never gave up. Libby stepped up huge for us in cage. This was a great overall team effort today. A lot to be proud of today!."

Up Next:
The Eagles will host Swarthmore College at 1:00 pm on Saturday.
