GANNON WINS SECOND CONSECUTIVE
MATCH WITH 22-7 ROUT AT SETON HILL
GREENSBURG, Pa. - The
Gannon women’s lacrosse team found the water to be calm for the second consecutive
match Wednesday afternoon, rolling to an easy 22-7 victory at Seton Hill.
The victory comes two days after a 23-2 decision over IUP.
As it did Monday evening against IUP, Gannon wasted little time scoring goals.
Christina Blasi (Pittsburgh, Pa./Seton-LaSalle) drew first blood 1:22
into the match with an unassisted goal. Mary Eshenour (Waterloo, N.Y./Waterloo)
netted two of the next three goals as the Lady Knights raced out to a
4-0 lead 3:04 into the affair.
Following Seton Hill’s first goal, Gannon rolled off another seven goals
for an 11-1 lead. Taryn Millerd (Shortsville, N.Y./Midlakes) had three
goals during the 7-0 run.
Gannon then ended the first half with five unanswered scores, capped by two
goals from Antonia Cianfrocco (Chittenango, N.Y./Chittenango). The
Lady Knights out-shot the Golden Griffins 23-9 in the first half and went
to the intermission with a commanding 16-2 advantage.
The second half was played on more even terms as Gannon owned a slight edge
in goals (6-5) and shots (11-8).
Eshenour and Millerd led the goal scorers with six each. Cianfrocco and Colleen
Dixon (Lafayette, N.Y./Lafayette) added four and three goals, respectively.
Blasi, Kayla Nelson (Oswego, N.Y./Oswego), and Sarah Belen (Oak
Hill, Va./Oakton) completed the scoring with one goal each.
Blasi and Nelson dished out seven assists each. Shauna Hutchinson (Islip
Terrace, N.Y./East Islip) recorded five saves while improving to 7-2
in goal.
Gannon, ranked ninth in NCAA Division II, improved to 8-3 with its second
consecutive victory. Seton Hill dropped to 3-9. The Lady Knights return to
action Friday, April 18 against Notre Dame (Ohio) at Gannon University Field.
Game time is scheduled for 7 p.m.
