WINTER PARK, Fla. (March 18, 2010) -- The Franklin
Pierce University women's lacrosse team concluded its Florida
spring break trip with a tough 13-8 loss to Pfeiffer on Thursday
afternoon at Rollins College in Winter Park, Fla. The Ravens fell
to 1-2, while Pfeiffer improved to 7-1.
Sophomore attack Brianna Nash (Oceanside, N.Y.)
and freshman midfielder Ashley Lamagdeleine (Westfield,
Mass.) each scored a pair of goals to pace the Ravens
offensive attack.
Sophomore goalkeeper Jillian Bolduc (Atkinson,
N.H.) made nine saves in goal and played well despite
suffering the loss.
Liz Melesh scored three times for Pfeiffer to lead all goal scorers
on the afternoon.
Franklin Pierce battled hard early on and were tied with Pfeiffer
at 3-3, 11 minutes into the game. Mary Kate Stille (North
Quincy, Mass.) and Ashley Moirano (Vero Beach,
Fla.) each scored early on to spark Franklin Pierce.
However, Pfeiffer scored four of the final five goals of the first
half to take a 7-4 lead into the locker room at halftime.
Pfeiffer continued its offensive onslaught with four-straight goals
to open the second half to take an 11-4 lead. Lamagdeleine scored
back-to-back goals and Christine McKay (Norwood,
Mass.) added another to pull Franklin Pierce within 11-7,
but that was close as the Ravens would get the rest of the way.
Pfeiffer scored two more goals to seal the win.
Franklin Pierce returns to action Tuesday when it opens its 2010
home schedule by playing host to Assumption at 6 p.m. in Sodexo
Field.
