Venechanos Postgame Interview
Kathleen Typadis scored the game-tying goal with one-second remaining in regulation and then hit the game-winning goal in overtime as the No. 4 seed Massachusetts women's lacrosse team upset No. 1 seed Richmond 10-9 in overtime in the Atlantic 10 Conference Tournament semifinals on Friday at McGuirk Stadium. Richmond held an 8-4 halftime lead thanks to five goals from Lexie Marrocco who finished the game with six to tie an A-10 tournament game record. Marrocco's lone goal in the second half was all the scoring the Spiders could muster as the Minutewomen rallied back to knock off the three-time defending Atlantic 10 Champions.
