Syracuse, N.Y. – The fifth-ranked Le Moyne College women's lacrosse team had five players record five points as the Dolphins registered a 17-7 victory over 21st-ranked Assumption University in the quarterfinals of the Northeast-10 Conference Championship on Tuesday afternoon at Ted Grant Field.

With the victory, the Dolphins (16-2) advance to the NE10 semifinals for the eighth straight season, the longest active streak in the conference, and for the 11th time in 12 seasons in the conference. The second-seeded Dolphins will host third-seeded Adelphi University on Friday at 4:00 p.m.

Le Moyne opened the game's scoring with the first three goals. Graduate student midfielder Katelyn Karleski (Syracuse, N.Y./Westhill/Onondaga C.C.) got the Dolphins on the scoreboard at the 13:21 mark with her 22nd goal of the season. Following a turnover by the Greyhounds in front of the net, the Dolphins cleared the ball and graduate student attacker Sara Goodwin (Baldwinsville, N.Y./C.W. Baker/Virginia Tech) tallied her 53rd goal of the year with 9:05 left in the quarter. Just over one minute later, graduate student attacker Jessica Meneilly (Cicero, N.Y./Cicero-North Syracuse) registered her 63rd goal of the campaign after taking a pass from junior attacker Sarah Hutchings (Marcellus, N.Y./Marcellus) to force an Assumption timeout.

Just 36 seconds later, Meneilly scored in an extra-player situation after collecting a pass in front of the net from sophomore attacker Grace Detor (Syracuse, N.Y./West Genesee).
