ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- Host University of Rochester rallied from a four-goal deficit to edge Nazareth, 7-6, Saturday in a non-conference women's lacrosse game at Fauver Stadium.

The Yellowjackets remained unbeaten at 4-0 as they kept the Golden Flyers off the scoreboard for the final 35 minutes of the game. Nazareth dropped to 2-3 overall.

Nazareth used a six-goal first-half flurry to overcome an early 2-0 disadvantage to take a seemingly safe 6-2 lead with 5:30 left in the first half. Rochester's Mara Karpp, however, scored with :40 left in the half and the Yellowjackets scored four more times in the second half to complete the comeback.

Freshman Jamie Martin scored two goals for Nazareth. Senior Amy McIntosh, junior Brooke Sullivan, sophomore Carly Gates and freshman Gabrielle Charles also scored goals.

Martin's first goal of the game, at 19:37 on a free-position shot, triggered Nazareth's six-goal outburst. Goals by Sullivan, Gates, McIntosh and Martin again followed in a six-minute stretch. Then Charles scored her third goal of the season with 5:30 left in the half to make it 6-2 Nazareth.

After Karpp scored for Rochester late in the first half, second-half goals by Danielle Diacovo, Lauren Basil, Jamie Wallisch and Karpp again lifted the Yellowjackets over the top. Nazareth had chances to tie the score again late in the second half, but shots by Brianna Mancini and McIntosh each were saved by UR goalie Marissa Traina. McIntosh had another chance in the closing seconds, but her attempt was saved again by Traina as time expired.

Rochester had a 20-17 edge in shots and a 26-20 advantage in ground balls. Senior Tara Prosak made 11 saves in goal for Nazareth. Prosak's sister, Maire, played the first half in goal for Rochester and made three saves. Traina had six saves in the second half, while holding Nazareth scoreless.

The loss marked the second one-goal defeat of the week for the Golden Flyers, who fell 6-5 at home to RIT Wednesday. Nazareth is home again Tuesday to play second-ranked Cortland at 4 p.m.
