MILLERSVILLE, Pa. – Joann Caminiti (North Wales, PA/North Penn) notched her first hat trick of the season to lead Millersville to a 15-7 win over visiting East Stroudsburg in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) women's lacrosse action on Friday.

Katie Fretz led the Warriors (1-3, 0-2 PSAC) with three goals, increasing her team-leading total to 13.

The Marauders (2-4, 1-2 PSAC) tallied the first five goals of the game, including two of Caminiti's three, en route to snapping their four-game skid and grabbing their first conference victory of the season.

Anna Marmer (Pottstown, PA/Pottsgrove), Caminiti and Ashley Mazzie (Barto, PA/Boyertown) all finished solo runs in the game's first five minutes to stake Millersville to a 3-0 lead.

Amy Longenecker (West Chester, PA/Henderson) converted a free-position goal with 21:39 remaining in the first half before Caminiti drove home a Liz Richmond (Jenkintown, PA/Jenkintown) feed for a 5-0 lead with 18:56 to play in the opening stanza.

Fretz netted an unassisted tally 29 seconds later before going back-to-back at the 14:56 mark, pulling East Stroudsburg within 5-2.

Nadine Owsiany (Brookhaven, PA/Sun Valley) found the back of the net for her second goal of the season to spark a four-goal flurry, extending the Marauder advantage to 9-2.

Diana Ferguson and Kelly Kemper (Bel Air, MD/Bel Air) exchanged goals in the final 3:04 of the first half to make it a 10-3 game at the intermission.

Holding to a 12-5 advantage, Longenecker tallied an unassisted marker with 10:55 to play and Caminiti finished her hat trick 1 minute, 48 seconds later off a Kristen Maze (Media, PA/Penncrest) assist.
