ALLENDALE, Mich. - Trailing by three goals with less than four minutes to play, Concordia-St. Paul played to the final horn, ultimately falling one goal short in a 14-13 loss to second-seeded Davenport on Friday evening in the GLIAC Tournament semifinals at GVSU Lacrosse Stadium on the campus of Grand Valley State University.

The Golden Bears finish the 2022 season with an 8-10 overall record against the third-ranked strength of schedule in NCAA Division II women's lacrosse including three games decided by two goals or less. They had two games decided by one goal, the first and last games of the season. Davenport improves to 13-5 and will face top seed and host #7 Grand Valley State (17-1) on Sunday at 11 a.m. (CT) for the GLIAC Tournament Championship.

Facing a three goal deficit late, fourth-year sophomore Molly Moynihan became the fourth player in program history to reach the 100-point club while tying the program record for career assists, finding Delaney Davidson for her fourth goal of the game as Davidson moved into second in single-season goals with 52.

Moynihan's 65 points on the season is the third-most by a Golden Bear, one ahead of Davidson who turned in 64 on the year with her 5-point finale. Moynihan ends the year with a program record 37 assists following her four point night (1 goal, 3 assists). She also had six ground balls, four draw controls and a pair of caused turnovers in a big all-around performance.

The Moynihan to Davidson connection came with 1:50 to play, trimming the Panther lead to two, making the ensuing draw control vital.

Davenport had controlled the draw throughout, holding a final 23-8 margin on the draw, securing the key draw in the closing minutes. But less than 20 seconds into their possession, the Panthers turned the ball over, with CSP executing a clear with 1:20 to play.

After a pair of shots by GLIAC Freshman of the Year misfired, the first wide and the second saved right in front of the cage, Seifert slid back and calmly pushed the ball through the goalie's legs from 10 yards out to make it a 1-goal game with 47 seconds left.

It was Seifert's first goal of the game, 41st of the year and secures a 50 point season for the rookie, the seventh in team history. She added two caused turnovers, finishing the year with 26, fourth most in a season in for the program.

Down by a goal with 47 seconds left, Davidson fought for the draw, securing her second of the night and the eighth for the Golden Bears. Setting up their attack, Concordia sixth-year senior and inaugural recruiting class member Katie Moynihan had her shot saved, with sister Molly securing her sixth ground ball of the game and firing wide at the buzzer.

The Golden Bears were on the comeback trail all night and Concordia never led, only forcing two first quarter ties at 1-1 and 2-2. Davenport couldn't pull away, either, however, pushing ahead for a 4-goal lead at the end of the first half with goals at 24 seconds and eight seconds. They led by four one other time, 10-6 early in the third quarter (11:48).

Concordia came back quickly, however, scoring four of the next five goals to make it an 11-10 contest with 48 seconds to play in the third quarter.

But Davenport struck in the closing seconds of a quarter for the third time, scoring with 12 seconds left for a 12-10 lead.

The Panthers netted goals with 24 seconds and eight seconds in the second quarter and 12 seconds left in the third - three pivotal moments in the contest in what ended in a 1-goal margin.

The Golden Bears responded by scoring three of the final four goals of the game.

Anna Glynn led Davenport with a 7-point effort, scoring five goals and adding two assists while Aaliyah Miller had five points on two goals and three assists. The duo also dominated the draw, combining for 19 led by Glynn's game-high 10 draw controls.

Concordia countered Davenport's dominance on the draw by holding a 14-9 edge in caused turnovers, committed five fewer turnovers (15-20) and led 22-16 in ground balls. Davenport finished with the higher shot margin, 32-24 but it was tighter on frame, with Davenport producing a 22-18 edge in shots on goal.

Concordia goalie Candace McDole responded well to the onslaught of shots, executing eight saves compared to five by her counterpart Maisy Latus of Davenport. She ends the year with 121 saves, tied for the third-most in a season. She added four ground balls, leading the team with 46 on the year, fifth-most in a season at CSP.

Joining M.Moynihan and Davidson with 4-plus point games was Keating with two goals and two assists, also adding two draw controls and a caused turnover. She finishes the year third for most draws in a single season with 51 and fourth in career ground balls (81) and draw controls (84).

Taylor Preece and Sarah Pierson each had 2-goal games for CSP, with Pierson closing out the year with her first 20-goal season as a Golden Bear and leaves with a program record 134 career draw controls while Preece wraps up the season with 14 goals in 15 games.

K.Moynihan finished with a goal and a pair of ground balls, wrapping up her senior year with a career-best 19 goals, 21 points and 21 ground balls, finishing fourth in career goals (65), fifth in points (70) while setting the bar at 70 for career games played.

Fifth-year junior Erica Peterson added another assist, finishing with her career-high 16 assists in a season when she produced career-highs of eight goals and 24 points, and despite a year of eligibility remaining, will graduate with 25 goals, 32 assists and 57 points while ranking fifth in career assists at CSP.

The defensive effort included three caused turnovers and a pair of ground balls by Paige Nicklaus, two caused turnovers and a ground ball from Maddie Westberg and a caused turnover and ground ball by Meghan McGowan in a unit sparked by freshmen.
