RINDGE, N.H. (April 5,
2009) - Adelphi University, ranked No. 1 in this week's
IWLCA Division II poll, raced to a 24-4 victory over Franklin
Pierce University in non-conference women's lacrosse action at
Sodexo Field this afternoon.
Senior Rachel Ray (Rocky
Point, N.Y./Rocky Point) and freshman Erica Devito
(Shoreham, N.Y./Shoreham Wading River) led Adelphi, who
will become a Northeast-10 Conference member next season, with
seven points each in the win. Devito netted a game-high five goals
to go with two assists, while Ray dished a game-best five assists
and added two goals. Sophomore Michelle Ceraso (Massapequa,

within the first 13 minutes, with Ray collecting two goals and two
assists in that stretch. The Panthers led 13-0 after a Ceraso goal
with 11:35 left in the first half, when Stille netted her
100th career goal with 10:40 left to put Franklin Pierce
on the board. Nash added her first goal of the match with six
minutes left in the frame, but the Ravens trailed 18-2 by the
break.

back in action on Tuesday when it hosts Southern New Hampshire
University, among other teams receiving votes in this week's
national poll, at 6 p.m. Adelphi (10-0, 0-0 ECC) hosts Stonehill
