Jenkintown, PA - Amanda Biagi (Bellmawr, NJ/Paul VI) recorded the second-most goals in a game in Neumann College history as the Knights rallied for a 4-1 victory over Arcadia Saturday afternoon in Arcadia, PA.

Samantha Lafferty (Glenolden, PA/Interboro) started the Knights off in the second half scoring, what would prove to be the game-winner, at the 38th minute off a feed from Rachel Mease (Gibbstown, NJ/Paulsboro). Biagi lit it up once again with her second of the day just 1:10 later. Lafferty was credited with the assist putting Neumann up 3-0.
