Box Score KEENE, N.H. - The Keene State College women's lacrosse team dropped their home opener to Emerson College, 18-5, Monday afternoon at Owl Athletic Complez. KSC dips to 0-3 on the season, while the Lions improve to 2-0.
Polly Grey and Christa Demovellan scored unassisted goals for the Owls to knot the game at 2-2 with 15:36 left in the first half, but the Lions would outscore Keene State 8-2 to go into the intermission with a 9-4 lead. Kaitlin Nolan and Jenna Bellano added the two goals before the half for the Owls.
The Lions opened the second half on a roar, with Tayllar Righini scoring three out of four Emerson goals in the opening 8:18 to jump ahead 13-4.
Kaitlin Nolan's second goal of the game stopped the Lion's scoring streak, making it a 13-5 game, but five unanswered goals by five different players for Emerson put away any hopes of a comeback for Keene State.
