Senior Lauren Glancy (Scituate, Mass.) netted a pair of goals in the setback for the host Hawks (7-5, 4-4 Northeast-10), who also received a goal from freshman Erica Costanzo (Barnstead, N.H.) and an assist off the stick of senior Colleen Sheehan (North Andover, Mass.).

Junior Amanda McGeachey (Saco, Maine) made five saves to pick up her 14th win of the season in goal for Stonehill, while freshman Allie DiRico (Royersford, Pa.) made 14 stops in net for Saint Anselm as the Skyhawks outshot the Hawks by a 37-10 margin.
