SELINSGROVE, Pa. --- Elizabethtown dropped to 1-4 overall and 1-1 in the Middle Atlantic Conference with a narrow 7-6 road loss to Susquehanna University Thursday night. Susquehanna improved to 3-2 overall and 2-0 in the MAC with the victory.

Etown attacker Liz Fretz (Parkerford, PA/Owen J. Roberts) scored the game's opening goal at 23:03, and Susquehanna struck back with a game-tying goal at 20:51. Jen Manns (Wilmington, DE/Brandywine) scored off a Fretz assist at 16:30 to give the Blue Jays a 2-1 lead, but Susquehanna finished the first half with four unanswered goals to carry a 5-2 lead into halftime.

Susquehanna went up 6-2 with another goal at 27:17, its fifth goal in a row and its third consecutive goal from a free position shot. Manns struck again for Etown, this time on a free position shot, at 23:47 to cut the Susquehanna lead to 6-3. The next 13 minutes were scoreless, until Susquehanna scored its final goal of the game at 10:22. From there, the Blue Jays mounted a furious comeback as Ally Edel (Bel Air, MD/John Carroll School) scored off a Fretz assist at 9:18, and as Fretz scored again just 13 seconds later. Just 40 seconds after that, Amanda Simpson (Aberdeen, MD/Aberdeen) scored off a Manns assist at 8:25 to pull the Blue Jays to within one goal of Susquehanna. However, the last eight minutes of the game went by without any further scoring.
