Westminster suffers PAC semifinal loss

GROVE CITY, Pa.--Senior midfielder Felicia Young (Darlington, Pa., Blackhawk) and junior attacker Julia Ravazza (Twain Harte, Calif., Dublin) each scored a pair of goals for Westminster College in Thursday night's 17-7 loss at Grove City College in the Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) Women's Lacrosse Championship semifinal round. 

Grove City, the championship tournament's top seed, improved to 11-6 this season. The Wolverines will host No. 3 Chatham University in the league's title game Saturday after the Cougars used a five-goal second quarter to secure a 12-11 semifinal victory at No. 2 Washington & Jefferson College. Westminster, the championship tournament's No. 4 seed, wraps up its season with a 12-6 record. The 12 wins are second-most in program history. 

Young and Ravazza both totaled three points Thursday, each finishing with two goals and an assist. Freshman midfielder Ava Kessler (White Oak, Pa., Norwin) also racked up three points on three assists. She added four draw controls. Junior attacker Haley Wenzel (Coppell, Texas, Coppell) had one goal, one assist and two ground balls. 

Junior defender Isabella Cespedes (Merrick, N.Y., Sanford H. Calhoun) finished with two ground balls and two caused turnovers. Senior defender Shea O'Donnell (Hatfield, Pa., Lansdale Catholic) caused a pair of turnovers and added one ground ball. Sophomore Falyn Snyder (Bel Air, Md., Bel Air) made 10 saves. 

Taylor Blythe led Grove City with eight points on a goal and seven assists. Tori Stevenson, Gwen Shilling and Jess Robinette scored four goals each. 

Grove City held an 8-0 lead after one quarter. Shilling had three of her four goals in the first. Ravazza got Westminster on the board with just over two-and-a-half minutes elapsed in the second and netted her second of the day, and 60th of the year, with just under eight minutes to go in the opening half, scoring off a Wenzel assist. Trailing 11-3, Young scored off a Kessler assist with 5:23 left in the half. 

Grove City carried an 11-3 lead into the break. 

Junior midfielder Michaela Neelin (Henrietta, N.Y., Rush Henrietta) cut the Wolverines' lead to eight, 12-4, with just over seven minutes remaining in the third, scoring a woman-down goal off Young's assist. It was her 22nd goal this year. Down 13-5, freshman midfielder Allyssa Anstis (Coraopolis, Pa., Moon) registered a woman-up score 32 seconds into the fourth off Kessler's second assist. The goal was her 38th this year. Wenzel netted Westminster's second woman-up goal of the night off Ravazza's assist with just over nine minutes left. It was her 26th goal of the season. With just over four minutes to play and Westminster trailing by nine, 15-6, Young scored her second goal off Kessler's third assist. It was her 48th goal of the year.

Grove City outshot Westminster 40-12 and held a 27-9 advantage in shots on goal. The 12 shots and nine shots on goal were both season lows for Westminster.
