    The Terriers regained the lead three minutes later on a Xan Weitzel goal, but Penn drew even just a minute after BU's second goal when Giulia Giordano scored unassisted, and then nearly seven minutes later Lehman gave the Quakers a lead they would not relinqish.
    Kaitlyn Lombardo made the score 4-2 with 9:14 left before halftime, and although Penn had several opportunities to pull away the rest of the half they either put their shots wide, off the post, or into the stick of BU goalie Rachel Klein.
    Just more than four minutes into the second half, BU ended a goalless span of 25 minutes and 29 seconds when Morton scored her second goal of the day. Over the next 14 minutes, though, Penn scored four goals to essentially put this game away.
    Sophomore Emma Spiro (two goals) broke in for an unassisted goal with 23:52 left in the game, and then nearly eight minutes later she connected on a free-position goal that pushed the Quakers to a 6-3 lead.
    Manson finished an Allison Ambrozy feed with 14 minutes left to give the Quakers a 7-3 advantage, and then Ali DeLuca completed Penn's run with 11:53 to play on an unassisted effort.
    Both goalies had strong; while Sarah Waxman was making nine saves in the Penn cage, Klein came up with 13 stops for the Terriers. Penn outshot BU, 30-21, and had 11 draw controls to the Terriers' four.

    Freshman Emma Hamm (Baldwin School) had a goal and an assist and two groundballs for the Blue Devils (13-7) in their upset over No. 3 Maryland.

    Megan Mosenson (Great Valley) tallied three goals and Jackie DePetris (Archbishop Carroll) added one as the Orangewomen (18-2) downed the Tar Heels (13-7) to reach the semifinals.

    The Blue Jays (10-5) advanced to the Division I semifinals with the win at Annapolis, Md., as Brian Christopher (Springfield-Delco) scored one goal, Matt Dolente (Malvern Prep) won three of six face-offs and George Castle (Penn Charter) scooped up one groundball.

    In another quarterfinal at Annapolis, Ken Clausen (Hill School) scooped two groundballs to help the Cavaliers (14-3) defeat the Terrapins (10-6) in overtime. Brett Schmidt (Upper Dublin) had a goal and two groundballs while Max Ritz (Radnor) had an assist and a groundball and Ryne Adolph (Springfield-Delco) and Matt Rankin (West Chester East) added one goundball apiece for the Terps. 

    Jen Pritchard (Penncrest) scored three goals to help the Diplomats (19-1) move into the NCAA finals against Hamilton today at noon with the victory at Salem, Va. Shannon Summers (Hill School) added a goal and three assists for the defending champions and Meredith Lussier (Radnor) had one goal while defender Sarah Nyman (Great Valley) had one groundball.

    Hamilton edged top-ranked Salisbury, 11-10. Pritchard now has 199 career goals and Summer has 200 career points.
