SOLVAY, N. Y. – Le Moyne scored nine-straight goals in a span of eight minutes and 59 seconds in the first and second periods en route to a 16-10 victory against Mount St. Mary's in non-conference women's lacrosse action on Friday.

Le Moyne used a 9-0 run at the end of the first half and the start of the final stanza to take the advantage it would not relinquish and go on to even the series against the Mountaineers that started last season. After Paris knotted the game at 4 at 17:02, Keegan fueled a 9-0 spurt by the Dolphins with three goals in a nine minute span.

Paris halted the run with an unassisted goal at 33:41 before Rossetti set up Paris at 36:08 to cut the deficit to 12-6.

Mazella then set up Burgoon before Paris and Rossetti each converted free-position attempts at 41:37 and 44:16, respectively.

After Duffy set up Falatach at 54:25, the senior found the twine unassisted 85 seconds later. Kari DeWick found the twine with five seconds remaining to cap the 16-10 victory.

Mount St. Mary's jumped out to a 3-2 advantage in the first half. Sierotnik and Burgoon scored to open the game sandwiched in between a Katelyn Catanese (Huntington, N.Y./St. Anthony's) marker for a 2-1 edge at 3:43. Falatach converted an 8-meter shot at 8:23 and then set up Paris' first marker 13 seconds later for the Mountaineers' only lead of the match at 3-2. Burgoon and Keegan responded with consecutive scores to reclaim the margin at 4-3 midway through the stanza. Rosetti set up Paris to square the match with 12:58 left until the intermission, but thanks to six free-position goals Le Moyne took the lead for good.

Samantha Falcone made five saves for the Dolphins while Jane Karger (Pittsburgh, Pa./Hampton) turned away nine shots for the Mount.
