EASTON, Mass.-- Senior Tracey Hoffman (Nashua, N.H.) tied her career-high with five goals and an assist for six points as fourth-ranked Stonehill extended its Northeast-10 Conference women's lacrosse winning streak to 63 straight with a 19-9 victory over Bryant Tuesday afternoon at W.B. Mason Stadium.
The host Skyhawks (9-0, 5-0 Northeast-10), now 75-1 all-time in conference play dating back to 1999, broke a 3-3 tie midway through the opening half with three unanswered goals off the sticks of Hoffman and sophomores Michelle Salmon (East Islip, N.Y.) and Michelle Kelly (Mendham, N.J.) to take a 6-3 lead with 8:55 to play in the half, as Stonehill scored six of the final eight goals before intermission en route to a 9-5 edge at the break. The hosts netted five of seven tallies in the second half to take a 14-7 lead with 9:56 remaining on a Kelly goal, and after the visiting Bulldogs (5-3, 4-2 Northeast-10) closed back to within 14-9 on a pair of markers that came 18 seconds apart, the Skyhawks scored the final five tallies of the match, including a pair by Salmon, to ice the triumph.
Kelly finished the day with a pair of goals and four assists for six points in the win for Stonehill, which also received four goals and an assist from junior Christa LaRocco (West Islip, N.Y.) as well as a hat trick and an assist from Salmon. Freshman Liza Gross (Loudonville, N.Y.) chipped in with a pair of goals and an assist for the Skyhawks, who also received two goals from junior All-America Kristin Darrell (West Islip, N.Y.) and a goal and an assist off the stick of sophomore Mary Maloney (Great River, N.Y.).
Junior Caitlin Hansen (Spring Lake, N.J.) netted four goals in the setback for Bryant, which also received a pair of tallies each from seniors Lauren Carlisle (San Diego, Calif.) and Shaun Leddy (Sea Girt, N.J.) and a single marker from freshman Allison Faiola (Billerica, Mass.). Junior Ashley Ammendolia (Concord, Mass.) recorded four assists for the Bulldogs, who also received assists from senior Amanda Gallant (Andover, Mass.) and freshman Eliza Demarseilles (Branford, Conn.)
Junior Amanda McGeachey (Saco, Maine) picked up her ninth win of the season in goal for Stonehill with a four-save effort, while freshman Chelsea Pettingill (South Portland, Maine) made 11 stops in net for Bryant as the Skyhawks outshot the Bulldogs by a 44-16 margin for the match.
Stonehill heads to Sparkill, N.Y. on Thursday evening to take on St. Thomas Aquinas in a non-league match that begins at 7:00 p.m., while Bryant hosts Southern Connecticut in a Northeast-10 outing on Saturday morning in Smithfield, R.I. beginning at 11:00 a.m.
