New Rochelle, NY - The Iona women's Lacrosse program secures their first win of 2020 with a nail biter over University of New Hampshire 9-8. Seven different Gaels scored, led by juniors Sara Stewart and Madi Kochanek with two goals each.

GAME SUMMARY

Emma Rippon, Emily Stewart, Katherine Meyer, Nora Carpenter, and Leah Marshall also found the back of the net with one goal apiece. The Maroon & Gold assisted on four of the nine goals with three coming from sophomore Megan Collins and one from senior Mariah Metcalf.

Junior Elyse Darcy recorded her first collegiate win today, facing 30 shots allowing eight goals while making 14 saves. As a team on defense the Gaels nabbed 19 ground balls and forced 16 turnovers.

New Hampshire jumped out to an early lead scoring the first three goals, until Meyer got Iona on the board. With 6:30 left on the clock the Wildcats increased their lead to 3 but the Maroon & Gold fought back and made it a one goal lead for New Hampshire going into halftime.

Sara Stewart opened the second half with her first goal of the game to make it even at four apiece, but the Wildcats were back up two just five minutes later. Stewart would find the back of the net for her second goal of the game to make it a one goal game with 21 minutes left to play.

Iona took its first lead at the 18:21 mark after Marshall and Kochanek both scored within 30 seconds of each other. Eight minutes later New Hampshire regained the lead as they scored two unanswered goals themselves making it 8-7 with 10:47 left to play. The Maroon & Gold would not go away with Emma Rippon and Kochanek finding the back of the net giving the Gaels a 9-8 lead with 6:05 left to play, a lead they would not give up as the defense stepped up big in the last six minutes.
