Baltimore, Md. – Sophomores Michelle Phillips (Johnson City, N.Y./Maine Endwell) and Rebekah Elmer (Syracuse, N.Y./West Genesee) each scored a pair of goals for the Le Moyne College women's lacrosse team but the Dolphins fell to UMBC, 17-7, in non-conference action at UMBC Stadium Saturday afternoon. Ten different players scored for the Retrievers, with Ashley Stodter and Amanda Pappas turning in three-goal performances.

Elmer pulled the Dolphins within a goal ten minutes into the game, at 2-1, on an assist from Phillips. But UMBC cruised to a 9-2 halftime lead thanks to a five-goal streak between the 18:35 mark and the 3:15 mark of the first half. Sophomore midfielder Nerissa Barzee (Baldwinsville, N.Y./Baldwinsville) put an end to UMBC's scoring run with a tally at the 2:49 mark before the Retrievers netted the final two goals of the half.

The Dolphins scored first to open the second half when Elmer sent in an unassisted strike just over two minutes in. Elmer, who leads the team with 30 goals and 39 points on the season, has scored in all but two of Le Moyne's games this season. After UMBC struck for a pair of quick goals, the Dolphins rattled off three straight scores to pull within five at 11-6. Phillips scored back-to-back goals, first on a free position shot and then on an unassisted effort, to give her twelve markers on the campaign.

Freshman Stephanie Dussing (Syracuse, N.Y./Bishop Ludden) followed the goals from Phillips with her third score of the season. The Retrievers extended their lead to six goals, at 12-6, before sophomore Mia Valletta (Niskayuna, N.Y./Niskayuna) capped Le Moyne's scoring with a goal at the 12:32 mark. The midfielder found the back of the net for the fourth consecutive game and now owns 26 goals on the season. Over the final ten minutes, UMBC accounted for five straight goals to produce the 17-7 final score.

Freshman netminder Kelly Fucillo (Camillus, N.Y./West Genesee) collected 11 saves between the pipes for the Dolphins, including eight in the second half.

Le Moyne (5-10) will stay in Maryland for Sunday afternoon's game. The Dolphins face Cincinnati in Brooklandville at St. Paul's School for Girls at noon Sunday.
