GANNON LACROSSE RANKED NINTH IN
LATEST NCAA DIVISION II TOP 10 POLL
 
ERIE, Pa. - The Gannon women’s lacrosse team dropped two spots and is ranked ninth in the latest Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) Division II Top 10 poll released Tuesday afternoon. The poll only considered matches played through Sunday, April 13 and did not take into account Gannon’s 23-2 victory over Indiana (Pa.) Monday evening.
   
C.W. Post (11-0), the reigning national champion, remained No. 1 for the ninth consecutive week. The Pioneers took eight of the 10 first-place votes and earned 98 points. Limestone (S.C.) (12-1) is tabbed second with one first-place vote and 84 points. Adelphi (N.Y.) (9-0) also picked up a first-place vote and is listed third with 79 points.
   
West Chester (11-1) and Lock Haven (10-2) complete the top five. Stonehill (Mass.) (8-2), Mercyhurst (10-2), New Haven (11-2), Gannon (7-3) and Southern New Hampshire (7-5) round out the top 10.
   
Gannon went 0-2 last week, dropping consecutive road matches at fifth-ranked Lock Haven (15-8) and fourth-ranked West Chester (24-7). The Lady Knights ended the brief two-match losing streak with a 23-2 rout of Indiana (Pa.) Monday night at Gannon University Field.
   
Colleen Dixon (Lafayette, N.Y./Lafayette) leads the Gannon offense with 38 goals, eight assists, and 46 points. Kayla Nelson (Oswego, N.Y./Oswego) is second on the team with 45 points, accumulating eight goals and a team-best 37 assists. Shauna Hutchinson (Islip Terrace, N.Y./East Islip) has started eight of Gannon’s 10 matches in goal, posting an 9.62 goals against average and .558 save percentage.
   
Gannon returns to action Wednesday, April 16 at Seton Hill. Game time is scheduled for 4 p.m
