Redshirt-freshman Piper Knowlton (Chester, N.H.) and senior Brynn Goulet (Tyngsboro, Mass.) each tallied three-point nights, but the Southern New Hampshire University women's lacrosse team was defeated by 21st-ranked Saint Anselm College, 20-8, Wednesday evening at Ouellette Stadium.

KEY MOMENT
  • Knowlton scored the first goal of the game 3:11 in, while three tallies from Goulet, including one that was set up by Knowlton, staked Southern New Hampshire to a 4-2 lead with 4:03 left in the first quarter. Saint Anselm responded with seven straight strikes and eight of the next nine, however, to bring a 10-5 advantage into the break.
  • Goals from junior Natalie Bosselman (Falmouth, Mass.) and redshirt-sophomore Mazie Burt (Waterford, Vt.) to open the second half pulled the Penmen within 10-7 with 7:05 remaining in the third, but the Hawks buried 10 of the final 11 goals to put it away.
NOTES
  • Southern New Hampshire drops its second straight contest for only the second time this season. The Penmen had alternated wins and losses over their previous eight games.

  • Sophomore Corrina Moulton (Barre, Vt.) stopped seven of the 24 shots she faced over the opening 52:09, while junior Nicole Mirra (Cicero, N.Y.) did not stop a shot in the final 7:51.
  • Saint Anselm leads the all-time series 15-8 and the Hawks have won the last seven with the Penmen and eight of the last nine. The Hawks have also captured eight straight meetings at SNHU. The last win in the series for the Penmen came March 27, 2019 (14-12), while the last home victory for SNHU was March 17, 2010 (18-9).
