Rindge, N.H. - Behind a combined 13 points from Alison Johnson and Kole Pollock, , the no. 2 Adelphi women's lacrosse program took a 17-6 final decision from Franklin Pierce University Tuesday afternoon. 

Not only was Johnson was responsible for a hat trick, she notched her 100th career tally, completing the feat in just three seasons. Pollock led seven different scorers with six tallies of her own with a perfect shot-on-goal percentage, as three others recorded multi-goal contests.. 

The Panthers (13-1, 10-0 NE10) got on the board quickly, scoring three in the opening five minutes of action and added four more over the following 13 minutes to command a 7-0 lead in the early going. Franklin Pierce (6-7, 3-7 NE10) managed to break the silence at 16:17 with two consecutive goals, but the half expired with four more tallies from the visiting team jump started with a score form Lena Riportella. 

Chelsea Abreu had a hand in both of the first two goals of the second half, scoring one and assisting Pollock with the other. The Raven's leading scorer Savannah Ernst brought the home team back within 10 but Pollock converted the next two free position shots to push Adelphi back out to 12-goal advantage. 

It was the home team that scored last, accounting for two in the remaining four minutes, however the deficit was too great to overcome. In all, both teams finished 17-18 in clear attempts, but Adelphi held the upper hand in nearly every category, including a staggering 23-8 advantage in shots on goal. 

Women's lacrosse will return back to Garden City for their final regular season home contest on Thursday, April 18. Opening draw is set for 5:00 p.m. on Motamed Field. During halftime of the NE10 matchup, the athletic department will honor the graduating class of the Adelphi cross country/track and field programs.
