GANNON
LACROSSE TEAM OPENS
SEASON WITH 20-5 ROUT OF ROLLINS
LAURINBURG, N.C. - The Gannon
women’s lacrosse team wasted little time getting its offense rolling in 2008.
Gannon exploded for 12 first-half goals and was never threatened in a 20-5
victory over Rollins (Fla.) Saturday afternoon on a neutral field at St. Andrews
Presbyterian (N.C.) College.
Gannon opened the contest with eight consecutive goals in the first 12 minutes
and 31 seconds. Taryn Millerd (Shortsville, N.Y./Midlakes), Colleen
Dixon (Lafayette, N.Y./Lafayette), and Mary Eshenour (Waterloo, N.Y./Waterloo)
tallied two goals each during the early 8-0 run.
Rollins finally stopped the bleeding with a goal at the 14:16 mark, but
Gannon followed with the final four goals of the half to account for a 12-1
halftime lead.
Gannon put all doubts to rest early in the second half. The Lady Knights
opened the final 30 minutes with four consecutive goals, increasing their
lead to 16-1 with 19:58 to play.
Dixon led the Gannon offense with five goals. Millerd recorded three goals
and three assists while Eshenour had three goals and two assists. Antonia
Cianfrocco (Chittenango, N.Y./Chittenango) completed Gannon’s group of
hat trick performers with three goals. Christina Blasi (Pittsburgh, Pa./Seton-LaSalle)
found the back of the net twice.
Kayla Nelson (Oswego, N.Y./Oswego) produced one goal and three assists.
Sarah Belen (Oak Hill, Va./Oakton), Christina Alexander (Syracuse,
N.Y./Westhill), and Carla Jemison (Versailles, N.Y./Gowanda) completed
the scoring with one goal each.
Shauna Hutchinson (Islip Terrace, N.Y./East Islip) started in goal,
making four saves and allowing one score in the first half. Acacia Cook
(Clay, N.Y./Clay-NS) played the second half and made three saves while
allowing four goals.
Gannon, ranked seventh in NCAA Division II, moved to 1-0 with its season-opening
victory. Rollins dropped to 2-3. The Lady Knights return to action Sunday,
