HIGH POINT, N.C.—The High Point University women's lacrosse team captured its fourth-consecutive win after riding a strong second half to defeat Marist, 15-12, Sunday afternoon (March 19) at Vert Stadium.

Neither team had more than a two-goal lead throughout the first 41 minutes of the contest and were tied, 9-9, when High Point pulled off four-straight scores. Senior Samantha Brown put the Panthers ahead for good with 18:33 to go and junior Brooke Stevens tallied back-to-back goals to give HPU a 12-9 lead with 16:24 to go.
 
Junior Darla Poulin scored with 7:26 remaining to extend High Point's lead to four at 13-9 and the two teams traded goals the rest of the contest, resulting in a 15-12 Purple & White win.
 
"I thought we came out a little slow today," HPU head coach Lyndsey Boswell said. "It was nice to see us fight through a little adversity half way through the game and I thought we did a good job coming out of halftime. Overall, we started a little slow, but are excited to get the win."
