Easton, Mass. – Kayla Conway scored five goals to lead Stonehill College to a 17-14 upset victory over the second-ranked Le Moyne College women's lacrosse team in Northeast-10 Conference action on Saturday afternoon at W.B. Mason Stadium.

"I give a lot of credit to Stonehill for starting the game with great speed and intensity today," said head coach Liz Beville. "Unfortunately, our in-game adjustments came a little too late and we suffered the consequences. We look forward to the opportunity to avenge this loss on Tuesday."

The loss snaps Le Moyne's 27-game win streak in NE10 games dating back to an 11-8 loss to Adelphi on April 25, 2018. It marked the team's first loss in an NE10 game to an opponent other than Adelphi since a 7-6 loss at Stonehill on April 5, 2014 (a span of 76 games) and it's also the first loss to an unranked opponent since the 2014 Stonehill game (a span of 55 games). Additionally, it's the first loss to an NE10 opponent other than Adelphi by more than one goal in the program's 12 years in the conference.

The Skyhawks, who scored the most goals against the Dolphins since Adelphi posted 18 in an 18-13 win in the NCAA semifinals on May 21, 2011, opened the game's scoring with the first two goals. Lilly Leach started the scoring at the 12:44 mark off a free-position shot and Lydia Rudden followed with her 10th goal of the season with 10:49 left.

Le Moyne, which lost when scoring at least 14 goals for the first time since a 15-14 decision at Sacred Heart on March 6, 2005 and for just the fifth time in the program's history, answered back just 44 seconds later as junior attacker Gemma Addonizio (Manlius, N.Y./Fayetteville-Manlius) scored her third goal of the game.

Leach scored another free-position goal only 40 seconds later, but graduate student midfielder Sydney Meagher (Fairport, N.Y./Fairport) tallied her ninth goal of the year 62 seconds later off a dish from senior midfielder Adrianna Nojaim (Camillus, N.Y./West Genesee).

Stonehill netted the next three goals for its first four-goal lead of the game. Emma Sullivan started the run with her 17th goal of the season with 7:13 left after taking a pass from Kendall Fressle. Caroline Davey posted her third goal of the year 24 seconds later after collecting a feed from Molly Mae Hughes. Conway netted her first goal of the day and 14th of the season with 4:29 to go off a dish in an extra-player situation from Hughes.

Senior attacker Jessica Meneilly (Cicero, N.Y./Cicero-North Syracuse) got the Dolphins back within 6-3 at the end of the quarter by converting a free-position shot with 1:05 to go.

The teams traded goals in the second quarter. Meneilly opened the scoring in the stanza at the 13:22 mark by finishing off a feed in front of the net from Nojaim. Leach pushed her team's lead back to three just 50 seconds later. Addonizio got the Dolphins back within two at the 9:35 mark after scoring in an extra-player situation off a dish from graduate student attacker Erin McMullen (Syracuse, N.Y./Westhill). Fressle put the Skyhawks up by three for the final time in the half with an extra-player goal at the 7:28 mark off a pass from Victoria Butler.

Le Moyne netted the final two goals of the quarter to get within 8-7 at halftime. Meneilly found the back of the net in an extra-player situation with 4:36 left after taking a pass from Addonizio. She scored again with 39 seconds left after receiving another feed from Addonizio.

Stonehill scored the first two goals of the third quarter and five of the first six to open up a five-goal advantage. Conway finished off a free-position shot at the 12:59 mark for her 15th goal of the season. She scored again 67 seconds later after taking a pass from Hughes.

Meneilly tallied Le Moyne's first goal of the third quarter at the 7:02 mark off a pass from McMullen to get the Dolphins back within two. With the point, McMullen passed Whitney Vecchio '08 for fourth on the program's career points chart with her 238th.

Conway scored her third goal of the quarter at the 6:25 mark after receiving a pass from Sullivan. Rudden followed with a tally with 4:08 left off a dish from Hughes in a two player-up situation. With the Skyhawks still up one player, Sullivan registered her 18th goal of the year with 2:54 remaining off a feed from Rudden.

Meneilly recorded her sixth goal of the game with 16 seconds left off a free-position shot.

Sullivan scored 46 seconds into the fourth quarter off a pass from Rudden to push the margin back to five.

Le Moyne scored the next three goals to trim its deficit back to two. Addonizio scored with 12:49 left and then McMullen tallied her 11th goal of the season 53 seconds later. With the goal, McMullen took over sole possession of fifth place on the program's career goals list with her 165th, passing Gold Wave Hall of Fame member Amanda Daniels '03. Sophomore attacker Sarah Hutchings (Marcellus, N.Y./Marcellus) registered her fifth goal of the season with 9:26 remaining to get the Dolphins within 14-12.

The Skyhawks pushed their lead back to four with the next two goals. Leach netted a free-position shot with 8:48 left and then Conway registered her 18th goal of the campaign with 6:10 remaining off a dish from Hughes.

McMullen got the Dolphins back within three with 4:09 left, but Rudden answered with a free-position goal with 1:56 to go for Stonehill's final goal.

Nojaim completed the game's scoring with 33 seconds left.

Third-year sophomore goalkeeper Paige Crandall (Adams, N.Y./South Jefferson) suffered her first NE10 loss after recording seven saves (against 13 goals) over the first three quarters. Sarah Faley earned the win after making 11 saves, including three in each of the first three quarters.

Le Moyne (3-2, 0-1 NE10), which dropped its NE10 opener for the first time since 2013 at Bentley, is back in action on Tuesday at Franklin Pierce University at 11:00 a.m.
