ASTON, Pa. - The Neumann University women's lacrosse team struggled with a strong Marymount University team on Saturday afternoon, succumbing in Atlantic East Conference action by a score of 21-4.
 
Brylin Adams tallied twice for the Knights, while Lindsey Fagan and Jay Murray also found the back of the net. Catriona Corrigan picked up the loss in goal, making eight saves in the defeat.
 
Looking for its third consecutive conference win, Neumann ran into a buzzsaw in the form of the Saints on Saturday. Marymount pounced on the Knights from the opening draw, racing out to a 7-0 lead in the first 10 minutes of the frame to take full control of the contest. Freshman Jay Murray finally stopped the bleeding at the 18:06 mark to make it 7-1 as she used her outstanding speed to blow by multiple Marymount defenders en route to her second market of the year. The Saints would score five of the next seven tallies of the half though to close out the half with a comfortable 12-3 lead. Adams and Fagan were the other first half scorers for the Knights.
 
The visitors continued to assert their dominance to start the second stanza, opening the final 30 minutes with six unanswered goals to blow the game wide open at 18-3 with 16:30 left to play. Adams notched her second score of the game at the 15:13 mark of the frame, but the Saints closed out the game with three more markers to clinch the 21-4 road victory.
 
Neumann (3-2, 2-2 Atlantic East) will look to get back into the win column on the road next Wednesday, April 14th when the team heads to Gwynedd Mercy University. Game-time is scheduled for 4:00 PM.
