Records: SNHU 4-1 (0-1 NE10), Adelphi 3-2 (1-0 NE10)

Junior Skylar Pietz (Dudley, Mass.) scored to tie the game, 1-1, in the opening quarter, but the Southern New Hampshire University women's lacrosse team suffered its first loss of the season Saturday, falling to eighth-ranked Adelphi University, 12-4, at Ouellette Stadium in the NE10 opener.
TOP PERFORMERS
  • Pietz – 1 goal, 2 ground balls, 1 draw control
  • Senior Skylar Renaud (E. Waterboro, Maine) – 1 goal, 3 draw controls

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • After Adelphi took a 1-0 lead a little over three minutes in, Pietz scored off an assist from Cole to even the score with 9:02 left in the first quarter.
  • The Panthers scored three straight before Cole set up Renaud to pull the Penmen within 4-2 with 8:43 to go in the second quarter. From there, however, Adelphi scored three straight, including with seven seconds on the clock before the half, to take a 7-2 advantage into the break.
  • Adelphi won the third quarter, 2-0, before Peredna found the back of the net off a pass from grad student Katie Crowther (Wrentham, Mass.) to make it a 9-3 game.
  • The Panthers would score three of the final four.
