East Stroudsburg, Pa. - In a lopsided affair, the no. 14 Adelphi University women's lacrosse team fell 9-24 to no. 12 East Stroudsburg on Saturday, at Whitenight Field. 

Series History:

• The teams have met seven times, with the Panthers (0-4) maintaining a 4-3 advantage in the all-times series. 
• Today's loss stands as the largest margin of defeat and the Cats offense was held below their average scoring against the Warriors. 

Highlights:

• Julia Foppiano and Ashley Kolomechuk both accounted for a team-leading three points, as four other individuals scored in the loss. 
• Rita Sefransky and Alexandra Leggio chipped in a pair of goals each as the former won a team-high six draw controls. 

How It Happened:

• After Sefransky scored the game's opening goal, the Warriors (5-0) strung together three straight to gain a lead they never relinquished. Sefransky scored another to cut the host advantage to one, but it remained a game of catch-up, as Kolomechuk's goal at 7:32 still saw Adelphi down a goal. 
• East Stroudsburg won the next six draw control attempts, and added to their score every single time, resulting in a 9-3 edge for the hosts following the first quarter. 
• The Warriors did not slow their offensive pressure, scoring on each shot they took in the second, with only one added to the Adelphi side of the board, courtesy of a converted free position attempt from Foppiano. 
• With a 13-goal deficit ahead of them, Adelphi turned the third into a positive frame, outscoring the home team 3-2, but still faced an uphill battle with the final 15 minutes to play. 
• The Panthers were plagued with turnovers in the second half and as a result, still struggled to decrease the margin in the last quarter. 
• ESU held the advantage in draw controls, 20-11 and finished the afternoon perfect in clears.

Up Next: 

• Adelphi will kick off the Northeast 10 Conference slate on Saturday, March 15 at Bentley University. Opening draw is set for noon.
