YOUNG HARRIS, Ga. – The third-seeded Lee lacrosse team finished its historic season with a 21-6 loss to second-seeded Alabama Huntsville in the semifinals of the Gulf South Conference Invitational Friday night.
 
The Lady Flames got the scoring started with 29:43 left in the first half off a Brianne Schapira goal and had a 3-2 lead just over nine minutes into the game before the Chargers would take control.
 
UAH used runs of 10 and seven goals over a span of 32 minutes of game time to put it out of reach.
 
Coach Wadley's squad was led by Emma Hill and Hanah Rotello with two goals each. Schapira and Kaylyn Dillon rounded out the Lee scoring. Madeline Perrigo got credit with two assists to help the offensive effort.
 
Christa Hill got the start in goal and lasted 34:16 allowing 11 goals while stopping seven in the loss. Junior Abby Sanders came in and finished up the final 25:44 allowing 10 goals, while getting credit for five saves.
 
Karissa Glover and Alanna Carvalho got the offense going for UAH with four goals apiece. Sophia Fiorino and Nicole Federovitch threw in hat tricks and Ava Boethig rounded out the multigoal scorers for the Chargers. To go with the three goals Federovitch was credited with three assists.
 
Leslie Allen Brown went the complete game in goal for Huntsville allowing six goals and credited with six saves.
 
With the conclusion of the season Lee has seen several records broken. The Lady Flames set a record in wins (9) and winning percentage (.500). The record for goals in a season was shattered by Becca Broadwick with 60 which is also good enough to be ranked 28^th in the nation.
 
The season also saw the first win in the program's history in the opening game of the year against Point University, the first home night game, first wins at home and in the conference as well as their first postseason appearance.
 
"Although a loss is always a tough way to end a season, we can't help but be incredibly proud of our girls this year," said head coach Addie Wadley. "I am so pleased with how far this team has come and am so excited for the future of the program. One highlight from the night was seeing our seniors book end the scoring with Schapira scoring the first goal of the game and Rotello taking the last one. We are proud to have made our first GSC tournament appearance and look forward to many more."

The Chargers advance to the GSC Championship on Sunday against Young Harris College. The host Mountain Lions topped Montevallo earlier in the day, 25-6.
