CAMDEN, N.J. - The Neumann University women's lacrosse team picked up its second straight win on Wednesday afternoon, dominating host Rutgers University-Camden by a score of 15-2 in non-conference play.
Â
Brylin Adams (7 g) and
Reilly Fiedler (4 g) were outstanding offensively in the win, combining for 11 of the team's 15 goals on the afternoon.
Maggie Blemings (2 g),
Bekah Brosky (1 g), and
Jayana Murray (1 g) also scored for the Knights, while
Catriona Corrigan and
Ava Irwin combined for four saves in goal.
Â
The first quarter would be the Adams Show, as the senior attacker put the team on her back by scoring the first four goals of the frame in just 4:30 of game time to give the Knights an early 4-0 lead. Camden got a goal back at the 9:20 mark to cut the Neumann advantage to 4-1, but two more goals from the visitors late in the quarter gave the Knights a 6-1 lead after one. Adams recorded her fifth goal of the frame, while Blemings also scored.
Â
The rout continued into the second stanza, again started by the sniping of Adams. The senior scored twice midway through the period to give Neumann an 8-1 lead, followed by markers from Brosky and Blemings to make it 10-1 with 2:23 left in the quarter. The Scarlet Raptors thought they'd created some positive momentum going into halftime with a last-minute goal to make it 10-2, but Fiedler answered back for the Knights with just six seconds left in the half to give the visitors a huge 11-2 lead at the break.
Â
With the game in firm control, Neumann cruised the rest of the way, scoring twice in both the third and fourth quarters to claim the 15-2 win. The team's defense shined in the final 30 minutes of play, shutting-out Camden while allowing just three shots. Fiedler carried the offense over the final two frames, scoring three of the team's four goals in the half. Murray added the other marker to help the Knights win their second straight matchup.
Â
Neumann (2-1) will look to make it three wins in a row this Saturday, March 12th when the Knights take on Bryn Athyn College. Game-time is scheduled for 1:00 PM in Aston.
