Syracuse, N.Y. – Freshman attacker Sidney Hall (Adams Center, N.Y./South Jefferson) scored a pair of goals and freshman goalkeeper Hannah George (Johnson City, N.Y./Maine-Endwell) made seven saves to lead the second-ranked and second-seeded Le Moyne College women's lacrosse team to a 6-3 win over fifth-ranked and third-seeded LIU Post on Saturday afternoon in the second round of the NCAA Championships at Ted Grant Field.

With the victory, the Dolphins set a program record for wins in a season with their 19th. The 2011, 2015 and 2016 teams each won 18 games. The Dolphins also advance to the NCAA Championships semifinals for the third straight year and for the fifth time in seven years. Le Moyne will take on the North Region's top seed, Adelphi University, on Friday at 11:00 a.m. at Bloomsburg University's Steph Pettit Stadium in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania.

LIU Post, which advanced to the second round with a 12-5 win over NYIT yesterday, opened the game's scoring at the 27:32 mark as Ryan McKinney, who scored six goals against NYIT, tallied her 59th goal of the season.

After forcing LIU Post goalkeeper Olivia Kirk to make five saves over the next 14 minutes, the Dolphins broke through with the game-tying goal with 11:36 left in the first half as Hall finished off a feed from sophomore attacker Bryanna Fazio (Watertown, N.Y./General Brown). Following a pair of saves by George, senior attacker Alexis Garbarino (Endwell, N.Y./Maine-Endwell) tallied her 21st goal of the season with 7:32 remaining in the period off a pass from sophomore attacker Maddie Knapp (Watertown, N.Y./South Jefferson).

Each team got off one shot over the remainder of the half, but neither found the net as the teams went into the intermission with the Dolphins leading 2-1, which is the lowest-scoring first half in the seven-year history of Ted Grant Field.

The Pioneers evened the score at two apiece 9:20 into the second half as Alyssa Mallery recorded her 31st goal of the season.

Le Moyne, which has won five straight games against the Pioneers (allowing an average of just 5.0 goals per game), answered back 98 seconds later as sophomore defender Monica Sanna (Pittsford, N.Y./Pittsford) gave the Dolphins the lead for good by converting a free-position shot for her 10th goal of the season. Just after a player-down situation expired, freshman midfielder Nicole Delany (Camillus, N.Y./West Genesee) gave the Dolphins their first two-goal lead of the day with 12:20 remaining after collecting a pass from senior midfielder Vicki Graveline (Syracuse, N.Y./West Genesee).

LIU Post got back within one as Trish Brisotti scored with 10:41 left for her 16th goal of the campaign.

Hall pushed the lead back to two with 7:41 remaining with her 35th goal of the year, while Fazio followed with her 22nd tally of the campaign 90 seconds later to complete the game's scoring.

The Pioneers were only able to get off two shots over the final six minutes, but the first was blocked by a defender's body and the final was saved by George with 22 seconds to play to seal the victory.

George recorded four of her seven saves in the second half to earn her 19th win of the season between the pipes. The 19 wins are the most in a season by a Le Moyne goalkeeper, topping the previous mark held by Kelly Fucillo '12 in 2011 and Molly Marbut '15 in 2015. With a pair of ground balls in the game, Graveline became the first Dolphin outside of the 1996 and 1997 seasons to record 60 ground balls in a season. Kirk recorded nine saves, including six in the first half, in the loss for the Pioneers.
