ORLANDO, Fla. – In a torrential rainstorm, the Endicott women’s lacrosse team began their participation in the National Training Center tournament with a 12-7 loss on Sunday to the Blue Knights of SUNY Geneseo.

Endicott fell behind 6-1 at halftime and despite matching goals with SUNY Geneseo in the second half, saw their record even up at 1-1. The
Blue Knights improved to 2-0 on the season.

Seven different players scored for Endicott, including Holly Davis (Guilford, Conn.), who now leads the team with five goals on the season. Callie Murphy (Woburn, Mass.) had a goal and two assists.

Murphy scored Endicott’s lone goal of the first half, which came with just twenty seconds to play in the frame. Morgan DeShaw (Danville, N.H.) helped the Gulls bookend the break with a goal two and a half minutes into the second half.

Murphy assisted on goals by Caitlin Pratt (Bow, N.H.) and Kelly Tierny (South Hadley, Mass.) before junior Lauren Todd (Newfields, N.H.) cut the lead to 7-5 but Caroline Buonnocore (Syracuse, N.Y.), who had five goals on the day, scored a natural hat trick to push Geneseo’s lead back to five.

Late goals from Davis and Michelle Loizzo (Longmeadow, Mass.) were not enough to keep Endicott in the game, nor were 12 saves from senior goalie Leah Neff South Berwick, Maine).

Lea Paris (Henrieta, N.Y.) and Emily Haggerty (Syracuse, N.Y.) took turns in scoring the game’s first four goals for the Blue Knights, who outshot Endicott 26-20.  

Julie Bernatzky (Mt. Sinai, N.Y.) made seven saves in goal for the Blue Knights.

Endicott will end their trip to Florida with a game this afternoon against Springfield College before returning home to start their Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) schedule on Saturday at Salve Regina.
