Garden City, N.Y. - In it's second game in three days, the no. 16 Adelphi University women's lacrosse team took a 16-8 decision from Franklin Pierce on Tuesday, on Motamed Field. 

Series History:

• Adelphi has never dropped a contest to Franklin Pierce, holding a 16-0 advantage all-time against the Ravens since 2009. 

Highlights: 

• Julia Foppiano and Alexandra Leggio both recorded six-point games, with Leggio notching her 200th career point in a Panther uniform when she assisted on Foppiano's goal in the third quarter. 
• Rita Sefransky saw seven of the hosts' 16 draw control wins land in her stick, as Adelphi held a 16-10 advantage in the game in the draw circle. She also managed a hat trick alongside teammate Emma Mclam who also netted a trio of goals with one assist. 
• The home team was perfect in clearing the ball, while the defense held Franklin Pierce to an 11-for-20 performance in clear attempts. 
• The Panther attack also nearly doubled the shots taken to their opponents, 30-16, with 24 landing on goal. 

How It Happened: 

• The Panthers held a 4-2 advantage after the opening quarter, courtesy of a pair of goals from Leggio. The Ravens saw the last two tallies of the frame get past Jillian McFadden which sparked a five-goal run that stretched into the second and ultimately put them ahead 5-4. 
• The final goal of that run was a man-up possession following a green card issued to Sonny Lionetti. After that strike, the Raven offense fell quiet, while the Adelphi attack ramped up, scoring the next 10 to make it a 14-5 contest inside of the fourth. 
• In the third quarter alone, the Panthers landed eight shots on goals and recorded five of them, while holding the visiting team to a single shot and no goals.
