EAST STROUDSBURG, Pa. (Mar. 24, 2017) - Sophomore midfielder Ryan McKinney (Downingtown, Pa.) notched a career-high seven goals Friday, including the game-tying and go-ahead tallies, to lead the No. 4 LIU Post women's lacrosse team to a 12-11 win against East Stroudsburg University at Whitenight Field.

The victory extended the Pioneers' winning streak to four straight games and improved their record to 5-1 overall.

Down 11-10 in the final minutes of regulation, McKinney scored back-to-back goals just 1:40 apart to put LIU Post in front for good with 6:22 remaining.

From there, the green and gold held their opposition without a shot for the remainder of the contest and forced a pair of Warriors' (5-1) turnovers to seal the victory.

The Pioneers, who led 5-4 at the break, eventually trailed 11-10 at the 8:30 mark of the second half, after consecutive goals by ESU's T.J. Jefferis (Phoenixville, Pa.).

However, McKinney quickly tied the score with a free-position goal just 28 seconds later. She followed that up with the eventual game-winner, on an extra-man opportunity.

Senior attacker Connor Bird (Syosset, N.Y.) had four points (3 G, 1 A) and four draw controls in the game. Sophomore attacker Morgan Lannig (Syosset, N.Y.) dished out five assists.

Between the pipes, junior goaltender Olivia Kirk (Farmingdale, N.Y.) made a game-high-tying 10 saves for LIU Post. She also scooped up three ground balls in the process.

Head Coach Meghan McNamara and the Pioneers return to action Wednesday (Mar. 29), when they take on East Coast Conference foe University of Bridgeport at 4 p.m. in Bridgeport, Conn.
