DANVILLE, Ky. – The Centre women's lacrosse team (7-6) took the South Campus Field on Wednesday night, hosting the Transylvania Pioneers in the rain that poured all day. There Colonels would spend the post-game dancing in the rain, celebrating a tight and tough 15-14 win alongside Lola Duff's new program record for most saves in a single game.
 
GAME HIGHLIGHTS
- The Pioneers were the first to strike in the contest, only needing 60 seconds to tally the first goal of the game.
- The Colonels were able to create a run and secure their first lead of the contest soon after Transylvania struck first, scoring back-to-back goals from Madeleine Longmeyer and McKenna Hulette. Freshman Haley Rice garnered her first point of the night with an assist credited to Longmeyer's score.
- The teams would match each other back-and-forth until the end of the third period, the lead changing or tying 16 times until the two team's had scored 11 goals each.
- The Gold and White would make a break for the finish with just over three minutes in the third period, slamming four unanswered goals that bled into the final period of action. Isa Stumpf would earn a pair to her stat line during the run, finding great looks from Rice and Ella Treinen on each of her scores.
- Despite a four-goal lead in the final period, the Pioneers inched towards a comeback by taking a run of their own with three-straight scores. The Colonels would only hold the one-goal lead with 31 seconds left in the game.
- Duff, with currently 19 saves, held strong in one of her best performances of the season, deflecting two game-tying shots in the final eight seconds left on the clock to seal the Colonels' seventh win of the season. 

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
- Duff's 21 saves in 60 minutes of action tears down the 10-year old record set by Allison Eisner in the 2012 season. 10 of her 21 saves would stem from the fourth period alone.
- Hulette's five ground balls marks the highest number for her in a single game this season, tying her career high as well.
- The Pioneers threw 35 shots on goal at the net on Wednesday night, the most they've faced in a win this season and one behind any contest in 2022.
- The Gold and White have turned the tide in the second half of the 2022 season, the Colonels having won six of their last eight games.
- Rice's six points marks the third time this season the freshman has tallied six or more in a single contest, averaging 3.9 points per game so far this season.
