Bagattaway Cup -- Westminster
Scott Franks
Overtime Goal Lifts GCU to Win Over Westminster
4/17/2010 7:19:19 PM | Lacrosse
Sophomore attack Jacob Hippensteel (Chandler, AZ/Chandler) scored with 1:32 remaining in overtime to lift the Grand Canyon University lacrosse team to a 10-9 win over Westminster College on the second day of the Baggataway Cup today in San Rafael, Calif.
It was Hippensteel's third goal of the game. Senior attack Scott Franks (Lakewood, OH/St. Ignatius), in his final game for the Antelopes, also tallied three goals.
GCU finished 3-8 against NCAA competition this season. Westminster, an NAIA school, is 9-4.
The 'Lopes led 3-1 after the first period and 6-2 at halftime. Other than the score, the first-half statistics were even. GCU led in saves (9-8), ground balls (17-12) and face-offs (5-8), while Westminster was ahead in shots (20-19) and clears (15). The 'Lopes had four turnovers, two fewer than the Griffins.
Westminster came out firing in the second half, scoring three goals in the third period and four in the fourth, including one with just 13 seconds left in the game to send it into overtime. GCU found the back of the net once in the third period and twice in the fourth.
The Griffins had a 12-6 shot advantage in the third period and a 25-4 edge in the fourth. The 'Lopes turned the ball over 12 times in the second half; Westminster did so just four times.
In addition to the six combined goals from Hippensteel and Franks, the 'Lopes got goals from junior attack Billy Lloyd (Tucson, AZ/Sabino), freshman attack Konner Klein (Scottsdale, AZ/Desert Mountain), freshman attack John Casmedes (Plano, TX/Plano West Senior) and sophomore midfield Trey Whistle (Springdale, AZ/Her-Ber).
There were no assists on any of GCU's goals.
Sophomore goalie Andrew Hunter (Scottsdale, AZ/Desert Mountain) had 18 saves.
The 'Lopes were penalized eight times for nine minutes, while the Griffins committed just three penalties for 1:30.
Addendum:
Dominican University won the Baggataway Tournament Cup with a 17-11 win over Westminster College on Sunday, April 18. The tournament, founded in 2008, is the annual end-of-season tournament played between Dominican, Westminster and GCU. The trophy features a Native American holding a lacrosse stick and is passed from winner to winner every season. The home team now has won the tournament every season. GCU won it last year.
