PHILIPPI, W. Va. | The University of Alabama in Huntsville women's lacrosse team topped Alderson Broaddus on the road in a nonconference matchup on Tuesday afternoon by a final score of 14-12. UAH improves to 9-2, while ABU slips to 4-4.

Sophomore Natalie Pachinger led the Chargers with six points on five goals and one assist to go along with a team-best five ground balls, five draw control and three caused turnovers.

Alderson Broaddus' Brooke Thomas gave the hosts an early lead with a goal 70 seconds into the contest, but the Chargers would take the advantage with tallies by Nicole Federovitch at 28:00 and Pachinger at 24:55.

However, four consecutive markers for the Battlers followed by goals from each side brought the ABU lead to 6-3, prior to goals by Megan Hartnett and Elizabeth Brown within 30 seconds of each other to draw UAH within one.

Each side would add two more tallies before the end of the half to make it an 8-7 Battlers lead through 30 minutes of play, with Pachinger posting two of her five goals in the last four minutes.

The beginning of the second half was a back-and-forth affair as goals by Emily Wiegand and Federovitch were negated by two Alderson Broaddus markers, before three straight tallies by Wiegand, Megan Hart, and Pachinger put UAH ahead 12-10.

Alderson Broaddus fought back with goals by Makyriah Jones and Jasmine Barham at 7:16 and 6:36, respectively, to even the contest, but Pachinger went on to score the game-winning goal at 5:49 with Federovitch providing insurance with her third of the game at 4:17 to bring the contest to its 14-12 final.

Reigning GSC Defensive Player of the Week Haleigh Comp improved to 9-2 in net with a total of seven saves in the game.

The Chargers wrap up the three-game road trip with a matchup at Davis & Elkins tomorrow at 5 p.m.
