MANCHESTER, N.H. – Brittany Brigandi totaled four goals and an assist as top-ranked Le Moyne College posted a 16-8 Northeast-10 women's lacrosse victory over Southern New Hampshire University at Larkin Field Friday afternoon.  The Dolphins improved to 9-0 and 6-0 in the NE-10, while the Penmen are now 2-8 and 1-6 in the league.

Morin scored 1:02 into the second half to pull the Penmen within 8-5, but Le Moyne gradually pulled away, with the Dolphins scoring the final three goals of the game.
