Pioneers Women's Lacrosse Defeats Stanford in Overtime

STANFORD, Calif. (Apr. 2) Kim Bodick and Dominique Cook each scored five goals and Mariana Spry notched the only tallies in overtime as the University of Denver women's lacrosse team posted a 16-14 win over host Stanford on Saturday. The win snaps a four-game losing streak for the Pioneers (2-6).

The two teams traded goals in a first half that featured five lead changes with Stanford taking a 7-6 lead at the game's midway point on two markers by Katharine Barnes in the last 3:13 of the frame. Bodick sparked the Pioneers early with three of the team's first six goals.

The see-saw battle continued in the second half with four more lead changes. Denver seemed to take control when Cook gave her team a 14-12 lead on a goal with 4:43 left in regulation but Stanford's Caroline Osterwise and Hedy Born sent the game into the extra session with tallies at 2:18 and 1:27 of the second half, respectively. Spry then iced the game with her second and third goals of the day in overtime.
