CHESTER, Pa. – Meg Steffney scored on a free position attempt just more than a minute into overtime as the Widener University women's lacrosse team got back on the winning track with a thrilling 11-10 victory against the Cabrini Cavaliers on Wednesday night.

Cabrini had one last shot at the buzzer, but it sailed wide.
  • Widener won the draw to open the extra possession and worked the ball around the fan before a foul gave Steffney a free position attempt just more than a minute into overtime. She calmly collected and deposited her eighth goal of the season, sealing the win.
