Worcester, Mass. – Junior attackers Erica Geremia (Camillus, N.Y./West Genesee/SUNY Cortland) and Maggie Monnat (Baldwinsville, N.Y./C.W. Baker) each recorded five points as the third-ranked Le Moyne College women's lacrosse team clinched a share of the Northeast-10 Conference regular season title with an 18-8 victory at Assumption College on Wednesday evening at the Multi-Sport Stadium.

The Dolphins scored the first nine goals of the game over the opening 18:13. After causing a turnover and scooping up the ball on one end of the field, sophomore defender Vicki Graveline (Camillus, N.Y./West Genesee) scored her first goal of the season on the other end to get the scoring started with 27:55 left. Sophomore midfielder Amari Pollard (Baldwinsville, N.Y./C.W. Baker) doubled the lead with an unassisted goal at the 24:31 mark, while Geremia picked up her first goal of the contest 91 seconds later. Following an Assumption turnover, Pollard gave the Dolphins a four-goal lead with her 34th goal of the season with 20:47 remaining. After almost four minutes of scoreless action, senior midfielder Laura Hoffman (Canandaigua, N.Y./Canandaigua) recorded her 27th goal of the campaign off a pass from senior attacker Julia Suriani (Buffalo, N.Y./West Seneca East).

Geremia scored the next three goals over a span of 3:08. Her second of the game came at the 15:13 mark after scooping up a rebound of a saved shot. Only 49 seconds later, she finished off a pass from Monnat for a 7-0 lead. Geremia found the back of the net for the fourth time with 12:05 to go. Hoffman ended Le Moyne's 9-0 run with 11:47 left after collecting a pass from Monnat.

The teams traded goals over the final 11:03 of the half. Amy McNeil got the Greyhounds on the scoreboard with 11:03 off a feed from Meghan Cushing. Just 38 seconds later, Monnat pushed Le Moyne's lead back to nine with her 23rd goal of the year. Camille Auger netted Assumption's second goal with 7:30 to play off a pass from McNeil, while Pollard answered back 13 seconds later. Cushing completed the scoring in the first half with 2:00 remaining after taking a pass from McNeil.

Le Moyne scored the first four goals of the second half over the opening 10 minutes. Freshman attacker Abbie McEntee (Cazenovia, N.Y./Cazenovia) started the spree by converting a free-position shot with 28:54 remaining. Just 76 seconds later, she tallied an unassisted goal, her 15th of the season. Pollard put the Dolphins up 14-3 with an unassisted marker with 23:11 left, while classmate Molly McGuane (Marcellus, N.Y./Marcellus) converted a free-position shot with 20:10 to go.

Tori Russo snapped the Le Moyne run with an unassisted goal with 18:38 remaining.

The Dolphins pushed their lead to 18-4 with the next three goals. Suriani picked up her 49th goal of the season with 15:38 left after receiving a pass from Monnat. Geremia registered her conference-leading 55th goal of the year with 12:58 left, while McEntee finished off Le Moyne's scoring with 9:02 left off a feed from Monnat, her conference-best 53rd assist of the campaign.

Cushing pulled the Greyhounds within 18-5 with an unassisted goal with 1:33 left, while Auger closed out the game's scoring with 20 seconds to play.

Senior goalkeeper Molly Marbut (Edgewater, Md./South River), the reigning Northeast-10 Conference Goalkeeper of the Week and ECAC Defensive Player of the Week, recorded her fourth double-digit save performance of the season with five in each half to earn her 15th victory of the year. Jaclyn Chirco posted seven saves (against 14 goals) over 36:49 in the loss.

Le Moyne (15-1, 12-0 NE-10), which has earned at least a share of the regular season title in three of the last four years, closes out the regular season on Saturday against top-ranked Adelphi University at 12:00 p.m. The winner of the contest will be the top seed in next week's Northeast-10 Conference Championships. A Le Moyne victory drops Adelphi to the second seed (with a New Haven loss at Franklin Pierce) or third seed (with a New Haven win), while the Dolphins would be the second seed with an Adelphi win.
