PANTHERS STAY PERFECT IN LEC PLAY
Dark & Evans Pace PSU Attack in Win Over RIC

            Providence, RI—Plymouth State University downed Rhode Island College, 17-6, in collegiate women’s lacrosse action on Saturday afternoon. The Panthers improve to 7-5 overall and remain unbeaten in the Little East Conference with a 5-0 mark. The Anchorwomen suffer their eighth consecutive loss and fall to 2-11 overall and 0-4 in the LEC.

The Panthers had ten different players score at least one goal and 11 different players record at least one point. Plymouth State scored the contest’s first seven goals and led at the half, 11-1. The Anchorwomen managed five second-half goals, but the outcome was never in doubt.

Senior midfielder Nicole Evans (Scituate, MA) and freshman attack Melissa Dark (Peterborough, NH) led the way for the Panthers with three goals apiece. Dark’s free-position goal with 13:10 remaining in the first half proved to be the game-winner. Junior midfielder Meg Cupoli (Southboro, MA), senior attack Bethany Brown (Norwich, CT) and senior attack Caitlyn Irving (Avon, CT) each tallied twice. Sophomore goalkeeper Sarah Beebe (Rumson, NJ) played the first half, making six saves and allowing one goal.
