SALEM, Va. — Liza Barr scored five goals and Steph Colson again was a force on the draws, as Gettysburg won its second straight NCAA Division III women's lacrosse national championship with an 11-9 win over Middlebury on Monday.

The game was delayed for a day due to severe weather conditions on Sunday in southwest Virginia.

After a back-and-forth first half where no team led by more than two goals, the Bullets (21-2) grabbed control of the game about eight minutes after halftime, outscoring Middlebury (20-3) 5-1 during a 10-minute stretch that made the score 11-6.

The Panthers did not give up, as Emma McDonaah scored back-to-back goals in a 15-second span that made it 11-8 with 6:47 to play.

Middlebury's Kirsten Murphy added her team's ninth goal with 4:09 to play, and the Panthers were in position to cut the deficit to one goal with under three minutes to play, but a shot attempt by Grace Getman was stopped by Bullets goalie Baily Pilder, who finished 12 saves. Middlebury did not have possession of the ball again after that.

The two teams combined for the third-most goals in a D-III final since 2010.
