Butler women's lacrosse won their matchup against Eastern Michigan 14-13 on Sunday afternoon. The Bulldogs reach .500 with a 4-4 record and the Eagles drop to 1-7 on the season.

How it happened

Butler started the game in a 4-0 hole as Eastern Michigan got out to an early lead. The Eagles won three of the first four draw controls in the game and scored on each of those possessions. The Bulldogs would battle back in the second half of the period. Five different Dawgs scored a goal, fueling a 5-1 run in the last 10:25 to tie things up at 5 a piece. Campbell Connors' goal, which gave Butler their first lead of the game, put her in first place on the program's all-time goals list.

The next period was all Leah Rubino, who outscored Eastern Michigan 4-1 by herself in the second. This gave Butler a 9-6 lead at the end of the first half.

The Eagles would not back down, however, outscoring the Bulldogs 4-2 in the third period. Draw controls played a big part in Eastern Michigan's run as they maintained a 7-0 advantage in the period over Butler. A last-second connection from Julia Putzi to Rubino gave Butler an 11-10 lead heading into the fourth period.

In the final 10 minutes, both teams battled to gain any sort of advantage. Goals were traded back and forth, and the score was 13-13 with less than two minutes to play. A caused turnover by Rubino and ground ball pick-up by goalie Caroline Smith set up what was the go-ahead goal by Kate Kaptrosky with 34 seconds left in regulation. Butler forced a turnover once again and played keep-away as time expired to clinch their fourth win of the season.
