Manchester, NH - The no. 13 Adelphi University women's lacrosse team used a two-goal advantage at the half to hold on for a 16-12 win at Saint Anselm College on Tuesday, to remain undefeated in league play. 

Series History: 

• The series record remains unblemished at 21-0 for Adelphi following Tuesday's win. In 21 matchups since the 2002 season, the Cats are averaging 17.14 goals per game against the Hawks.

Highlights: 

• Julia Foppiano saw a team-leading seven points behind four goals and a trio of helpers as Ashley Kolomechuk notched her fifth game of the season with five or more points. 
• Alexandra Leggio, Marielle Colalillo, Emma Mclam and Nikola Debicka each recorded a pair of goals in the victory. 
• Madison Howard saw a career-high five ground balls in the win, causing two turnovers along the way. 
• Rita Sefransky and Colalillo accounted for seven and five draw control wins, respectively, as the team won 18 compared to the hosts' 12. 

How It Happened: 

• After scoring the first two goals of the game, the Panthers (6-4, 6-0 NE10) went cold, allowing the hosting Hawks to put in the next four unanswered and gain a two-goal lead. Colalillo and Leggio both managed late scores to make the game even at four-all following the first 15 minutes of action. 
• Back-to-nack goals from Kolomechuk finally gave Adelphi a lead in the seond, but Saint Anselm's Lucy Mawn capitalized on a woman-up possession to bring the game even once more. 
• It was Leggio's unassisted tally at 7:56 that put the Panthers in the drivers' seat for good, sparking a four-goal run that spanned into the third frame to push ahead by four. 
• The home team committed five turnovers in the third frame alone, struggling to clear the ball but giving Adelphi plenty of opportunities to score. A lopsided 4-1 frame in favor of the Brown and Gold proved to be the difference maker down the stretch. 
• Saint Anselm opened the final frame with a 4-1 run of their own but still trailed by two with 7:09 left in regulation. Colalillo and Foppiano both scored late in the fourth to keep the Hawks at bay and hang on for the team's sixth consecutive win. 

Up Next: 

• Women's lacrosse remains on the road for an April 4 meeting with Assumption University. Opening draw control is set for noon.
