WALTHAM, Mass. (April 22,
2008) – Bentley College defeated Franklin Pierce
University by a score of 24-9 in Northeast-10 Conference
women’s lacrosse action on Tuesday evening at the Bentley
Lacrosse Field.
Bentley sophomore Jaclyn Griffin (Barrington, Ill./Barrington) led
all scorers with six goals and three assists for nine points, while
senior Liz Goddard (Acton, Mass./Acton-Boxboro Regional) added
three goals and four assists for seven points. Junior Alyssa
Ritchie (North Andover, Mass./ North Andover) also scored twice to
become the Falcons’ all-time leading scorer.
Franklin Pierce also had its own record fall on Tuesday night, as
freshman Lauren Stille (North Quincy, Mass./North
Quincy) scored five times to become the school’s
single-season leader in goals scored with 61, passing the 58
tallies of Courtney Boardman ’05 from her final season. The
freshman now holds all three major single-season records at the
school, having captured the single-season assists and points marks
earlier in the year.
Bentley scored nine of the first 10 goals of the evening to take a
9-1 lead with 13:25 remaining in the first half, giving the home
team a comfortable cushion. Franklin Pierce put together four
unanswered goals in a four-minute span later in the half, capped by
the record-tying and record-breaking goals from Stille less than
two minutes apart, but Bentley scored the final four goals of the
half to take a 13-5 edge into the intermission and never looked
back.
Freshman goaltender Chaniece Franklyn (Chappaqua,
N.Y./Horace Greeley) made 11 saves for Franklin Pierce on
the evening.
