OCEANSIDE, N.Y. (Apr. 13, 2013) - On Saturday, a total of nine different players scored at least one goal for the Lions to send the Molloy College women's lacrosse team to a 15-7 win versus Southern New Hampshire University in a non-conference duel at Oceanside High School in Oceanside, N.Y. Senior midfielder Kaitlynn Kelly (Rockville Centre, N.Y.), in her return to the alma mater, led the offensive charge with a game-high five points, off four goals and one assist.
Senior attacker Codi Reiser (Farmingdale, N.Y.) also tallied a five-point effort (2 G, 3 A) for the Lions. Senior midfielder Nicole Mastrianni (Seaford, N.Y.) and freshman midfielder Katie O'Brien (Oyster Bay, N.Y.) had two tallies apiece. Senior attacker Alexa Toscano (Bethpage, N.Y.) added a goal, and two helpers, for a three-point output.
Molloy (7-6) got off to a hot start in the contest, netting four of the first five markers in the opening 14:28 of play. Kelly started the scoring just 2:39 in with a free-position goal. Reiser pitched in a tally, and an assist, at the conclusion of the run. The Lions eventually headed into the break with a four-goal lead (6-2), as Kelly found the back of the cage at the 33-second mark.
In the second half, a quick tally by SNHU's (5-8) Adrianna Fratasio (Walpole, Mass.) cut the deficit to three. However, a 6-1 response by the maroon and white extended the advantage to a commanding 12-4, and clinched the win. Reiser registered a marker, and two assists in the burst. Kelly and Toscano each notched a goal, and a helper. O'Brien, Mastrianni and senior midfielder Christie Roell (Seaford, N.Y.) tickled the twine as well.
For the game, Molloy owned a 40-22 clip in shots, a 27-17 edge in ground balls, and a 13-11 margin in draws. In the cage, freshman goalie Caroline Winters (Baldwin, N.Y.) made eight saves for the Lions. Her counterpart, freshman Maria Ploof (Middlebury, Vt.), turned aside 17 shots for the Penmen.
Additionally, all proceeds from the contest benefited Hurricane Sandy relief.
