Syracuse, N.Y. – Senior attacker Gemma Addonizio (Manlius, N.Y./Fayetteville-Manlius) had a season-high six points and senior goalkeeper Paige Crandall (Adams, N.Y./South Jefferson) made a season-high 13 saves to lead the sixth-ranked Le Moyne College women's lacrosse team to a 15-8 victory over 25th-ranked Southern New Hampshire University in the Northeast-10 Conference regular season finale on Saturday at Ted Grant Field.

The Dolphins will open NE10 Championships play on Tuesday at home as the second seed against seventh-seeded Assumption University at 4:00 p.m.
 
"Today's win was earned through physical play and the ability to make in-game adjustments," said head coach Liz Beville. "On 'Senior Day', I thought Gemma and Paige really stepped up. It feels great to go undefeated at home in the regular season."
