LE MOYNE EARNS NCAA TOURNAMENT BERTH WITH 19-12 DEFEAT OF MONMOUTH; KEEGAN BECOMES DOLPHINS ALL-TIME GOAL SCORER.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. - The Le Moyne College women's lacrosse team secured a berth into the NCAA Tournament on Saturday with a 19-12 defeat of Monmouth. Amanda Keegan (Marcellus, NY / Marcellus) led the attack with six goals and five assists. The tournament bracket will be announced on Monday where the Dolphins will learn of their opening round opponent. This will be the third appearance Le Moyne will make the NCAA Tournament and first since 2003.

Le Moyne would score three unanswered goals to take a 5-4 lead on Keegan's second goal of the afternoon. Monmouth would counter with three unanswered goals to jump back in front 7-5. Le Moyne would end the half in a flurry scoring four goals in the final 2:22 to take a 9-7 advantage into the half.

The Dolphins would tally the first goal of the second half on one of Lisa McCarthy's (Syracuse, N.Y. /West Genesee) three goals on the day. Monmouth would score with 18:06 remaining on a goal from Kaitlyn Robinson to pull within one goal. That would be as close as they would get as the Dolphins would outscore Monmouth 8-2 over the final 17 minutes to secure the victory.

Kylie Rosette (Watertown, N.Y. /General Brown scored five goals and assisted on another to tally six points. Whitney Vecchio (Watertown, N.Y. /General Brown) and Lisa McCarthy (Syracuse, N.Y. /West Genesee) each scored three goals each with Emily Donnells (Penn Yan, N.Y. /Penn Yan) and McKenzie Gray (Baldwinsville, N.Y. /Baldwinsville) notching one goal to round out the Dolphin attack.
