Women's Lacrosse Suffers Setback Against Molloy

BUFFALO, N.Y. – In their first home game in three weeks, the Daemen University women's lacrosse team suffered a 15-1 setback against Molloy in East Coast Conference women's lacrosse action Saturday afternoon at Coyer Field.
 
With the win, the Lions, who won their fifth consecutive game, improved to 6-8 and 3-1 in ECC play while the Wildcats dropped to 4-8 and 2-2 in conference play.
 
Sofia Quitoni led Molloy with four goals while Alexa Amorison notched a team-high five points off three goals and two assists. On defense, Carly Howell grabbed nine ground balls and seven caused turnovers. In net, Nicole Schaumloffel made six saves in the winning effort. 
 
Senior midfielder Cameron Briggs (Buffalo, N.Y.) scored the lone goal for Daemen and also collected three draw controls. Sophomore midfielder Mikayla Myer (Geneva, N.Y.) and senior defender Gabi Accurso (Buffalo, N.Y.) each caused a team-high two turnovers while in net, freshman Molly Evans (Fulton, N.Y.) made a season-high 11 saves.
 
Molloy controlled the first half as they outshot Daemen, 25-5 and entered the locker room with a 11-0 lead.
