In one of the most tightly contested games of the season, the Central Michigan lacrosse team came out on top with a 17-16 win over Kennesaw State Sunday.

The teams would exchange multiple goals late in the contest before sophomore midfielder Jocelyne Lemay scored the eventual game-winning goal with 3:34 to play to put CMU up 17-15.

After Kennesaw State found the back of the net to cut the lead to one with under three minutes to go, freshman goalkeeper Hope Murray made three crucial saves in the final minutes to help lead the Chippewas to the win and a standing ovation from the crowd.
