The senior captain made the save and cradled the ball calmly as the clock expired and Agnes Irwin (3-0) celebrated a 12-11 win over the No. 7 team in the Summit Lacrosse North America Rankings.
Our Lady of Good Counsel fell to 2-1, 2-0 in the DC WCAC. The Owls are ranked No. 6 and No. 2 by Phillylacrosse.com.
Agnes Irwin scored first and never trailed, building a six-goal lead with less than 15minutes to play, led by five goals from senior captain Lila Barker.

The Owls were assessed two yellow cards within the next ten seconds and were forced to finish the game down two players. And then it was up to Andress.
