Adelphi took control of the contest immediately, scoring just 80 seconds in, courtesy of a Keesling effort off a
Rachel Aitkens feed. From there the Brown and Gold went on a 14 goal run, including netting 12 goals in the first 18 minutes of action. The Panthers would have gone into the half with a 14-0 lead, but the Ravens found the back of the Adelphi goal with just 39 ticks left.
The second half looked to be more of the same, thanks to a
Casey Zalewski goal just 1:45 into the action. However, the hosts went on a three goal run, the finally tally coming at the 14:23 mark, making it an 11 goal game, 15-4. But, the Panthers stole back momentum and retook control, closing the contest on a five goal run, waling out of Rindge with a 20-4 victory.
The Brown and Gold return to action on Saturday, April 4 when they welcome Merrimack College to Garden City for a 4:00 pm contest.
