GALLOWAY, N.J. --- The Moravian University women's lacrosse squad scored seven goals in the first quarter on the way to posting a 17-14 non-conference victory at Stockton University Wednesday evening.

How It Happened

  • The Greyhounds needed just 52 seconds to get on the scoreboard as senior midfielder Megan Donnelly tallied the opening goal. The Ospreys scored the next two goals to move ahead 2-1, but Moravian responded with four straight goals to take the lead for good. Senior attack Devin King started the run while sophomore midfielder Madi Dippel gave the Blue & Grey the lead for good. Sophomore midfielder Alex Chernenson scored down a person and Donnelly scored again for a 5-2 edge. Stockton scored twice before Donnelly and Cherenson found the net in the final 1:14 of the quarter to give Moravian a 7-4 lead after 15 minutes of action
  • Both squads would tally two markers in the second quarter with King netting both goals for the Hounds, who headed into the intermission with a 9-6 advantage
  • Dippel opened the scoring in the second half as the teams traded the first five goals of the period. King scored once more during the third quarter while Donnelly and Cherenson both added two goals as Moravian stretched the edge to 15-9 after 45 minutes of play
  • The Greyhounds netted two goals in the fourth quarter with sophomore attack Jackie Salvatore scoring once and King finishing off the goals for Moravian when she scored with a man-advantage. The Ospreys did score five times in the final period but would get no closer than three goals
