SALEM, Va. — Gettysburg College held on to edge the Middlebury College women’s lacrosse team, 11-9, in Monday’s NCAA Division III final played on the campus of Roanoke College.  
Middlebury saw its 11-game winning streak end and finished 20-3. Panthers Georgia Carroll, Hollis Perticone and Emma McDonagh all earned spots on to the all-tournament team.
Gettysburg won its second straight title and improved to 21-2 with the win over the 2016 champion Panthers.
The game was tied at 5-5 until Liza Barr scored late in the first half to give the Bullets a 6-5 lead at the break. Gettysburg then went on a 5-1 run to open the second half that made it 11-6.
McDonagh helped Middlebury cut into the deficit with two goals just 15 seconds apart. Her first came in an unsettled situation, while on her second she faked high and slid a low offering home.
Kirsten Murphy made it 11-9 with 4:09 remaining by working her way around the crease and putting a low shot past Bullet goalie Bailey Pilder, who played an outstanding game. The Panthers had only one more possession after that goal, and were unable to score and the Bullets ran out the remaining time.
McDonagh finished with three goals and an assist, concluding the tournament with 18 goals in five games. Murphy added two goals and an assist, while O’Neill netted a pair. Perticone collected five draw controls, while Evie Keating and Addy Mitchell each scooped up three ground balls. Goalie Kate Furber finished with five saves in goal.
