Rindge, NH - A successful win for the Adelphi University field hockey team as they beat Franklin Pierce 6-1 on Saturday morning. 

This is the Panthers' fifth game scoring 5 or more goals this season, only three games short of last year.

Within the first minute of the contest, the Cats' offense took off thanks to a goal from redshirt freshman Emiline Biggin to take an early lead. Only four minutes later, the Cats struck again - this time by sophomore Amanda Lee off a top-of-the-circle shot which was assisted by senior Giana McKeough that went past Ravens' goalie MacKenzie Potvin and into the back of the cage. 

In the second period, Adelphi (10-7, 9-3 NE10) would make it three goals to none coming off a three-on-two build-up play that was scored by Lee and assisted by Biggin. 

As the second half began, the Brown and Gold would score two goals coming in the first six minutes of the third quarter by graduate student Kaylee Deleva that was assisted by junior Kylie Peregoy, and another one from Lee that was assisted by Deleva. Lee joins graduate student Bianca Bachisin and Deleva for scoring a hat trick this season.

A couple of minutes after the Cats scored a pair, Franklin Pierce (4-12, 3-8 NE10) would end up scoring their lone goal of the game off a rebound from Anna Beck which was assisted by Christine Jarowicz. The Panthers would end up scoring one more off a breakaway from sophomore Jillian Riche who was assisted by McKeough.

The Brown and Gold's junior goalie Amanda Montiel ended her day with ten saves protecting the cage which brings her season total to 42 saves.

Adelphi's last game of the regular season will be played at Motamed Field at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 9. The game will be in honor of Morgan's Message and there will also be a blanket giveaway to the first 25 Adelphi fans in attendance.
