GREENSBORO, N.C. –Guilford College’s Amanda Dionne scored with 50 seconds left in regulation to lift the Quakers to an 11-10 lacrosse win over visiting Greensboro College Wednesday night.

Coming out of a Quakers’ timeout, Guilford’s Demming Carlow drew two defenders and dropped a pass off to Dionne, who stepped to the goal and scored with a low shot from close range to break the game’s ninth and final tie. Carlow took and won the ensuing draw control, and the Quakers (2-5) ran out the clock for their second win in three games.
