FROSTBURG, Md. - Host Frostburg State used a mid-game rally to secure a 19-11 non-league women's lacrosse victory over Shenandoah University Wednesday afternoon.

Shenandoah (2-10) scored the game's opening goal and led by one on four additional occasions before the Bobcats (5-7) rallied late in the first half.

With the Hornets up 5-4, Frostburg scored four of the final five goals of the first to take a lead it would not relinquish.

Holding an 8-6 advantage at the break, FSU scored the opening three goals of the second to go up five, 11-6, by the 24:45 mark.
