SU plays Northwestern for the Championship
(AP) -- STONY BROOK, N.Y. (AP) - Sarah Holden scored her fourth goal with 2:02 remaining in double overtime and No. 4 Syracuse upset top-seeded Florida on Friday, 14-13, to advance to its first women's lacrosse national championship game.
Holden netted the winner by making a move from up top and buried a bounce shot by Florida goaltender Misty Meagher.
Michelle Tumolo and Alyssa Murray added three goals apiece for the Orange (19-3), who overcame a pair of seven-goal deficits and will face either Maryland or Northwestern on Sunday night.
Shannon Gilroy scored five goals for Florida (19-3), which failed to become the first program in its third year of existence to reach the championship game. Brittany Dashiell added four goals for the Gators, who blew leads of 11-4 and 12-5.
The Orange advances to meet Northwestern, a team they lost to in overtime earlier this year for the national crown
