GLENSIDE, Pa. -- Julia Imbert scored with 32 seconds to play to lift the Arcadia women's lacrosse team to a 10-9 win over Hood on Saturday afternoon at Jean Lenox West Field and Delran Pavilion.
 
Imbert's fourth goal of the game proved to be the game winner, as she deposited her free position shot in the back of the cage past Hood's Sophia Vilaca with under a minute to play. Following Imbert's goal, the Blazers won possession off the draw control and earned a free position shot with eight seconds to play. However, Rachel Slater's effort was several feet wide of the cage and time ran out on Hood (9-2, 1-1 MAC Commonwealth).
 
A fast start by the Knights (1-8, 1-1), gave the hosts a 5-2 lead with just under 14:00 to play in the first half. Imbert and Jess Kaye each scored two goals in the Knights' run to open the contest, and Michaela Ferlow's goal with 13:49 left made it 5-2.
 
Following Ferlow's goal, Hood scored four straight to assume a 6-5 lead at the 22:36 mark of the second half. The two teams traded scores over the remainder of the game until back-to-back goals by Nicole Kress at 4:19 and 3:41 gave AU a 9-8 lead.
 
Laura Skorobatsch tied the game at 9-9 with 1:40 to play. Kress came up big once again, winning the ensuing draw control and getting the ball to Imbert, who was fouled driving to the cage to set up her game-winning goal.
 
Veandra Selby made 11 saves in the cage for the Knights, and Vilaca came up with six for the Blazers.
 
Kaye and Kress finished with two goals and one assist apiece, while Ferlow chipped in a goal and an assist. Kaye also won four draw controls, caused two turnovers and picked up a pair of ground balls. Kirsten Pedicone caused five turnovers, and Caroline Toner scooped up six ground balls.
 
Arcadia is in action next Saturday at Alvernia beginning at 2 p.m.
