SIGNORIELLO & VOYER LEAD
ANCHORWOMEN TO FIRST WIN
RIC
Defeats Emmanuel, 15-3, to Close Out Three-Game Homestand |
|
Providence, R.I.-Sophomore
attacker Ashley Signoriello (Cranston, RI) posted a
career-high six goals, while senior attacker Molly Voyer
(Lincoln, RI) dished out a career-high seven assists, as the
Rhode Island College women’s lacrosse team took down Emmanuel
College, 15-3, at the RIC Lacrosse Field on Thursday night. |
|
|
|
The Anchorwomen (1-2) register their
first victory of the season with the win, while the Saints fall to
1-3 with their third straight setback. |
|
|
|
Rhode Island College got off to a hot
start, notching back-to-back goals to open the game, the first
courtesy of Voyer and the second from Signoriello. However, Emmanuel
freshman midfielder Alexia Basile (West Hartford, CT)
responded with a free position goal just a few minutes later to make
it a 2-1 ballgame. |

Moments later, freshman attacker
Jessica Ricci (Hope, RI) answered back with a goal of her own,
putting RIC on top, 3-1, with 11:17 remaining in the half. After
freshman attacker Madison Altwies (Southington, CT) found the
back of the net for the Saints on a free position to once again cut
the deficit to one, the Anchorwomen closed out the frame with a pair
of goals from Signoriello and Ricci to take a 5-2 lead into the
half. |
|
|
|
The second half was a much different
story for both teams, as much of it was completely dominated by the
Anchorwomen. After Ricci opened with a goal to give RIC a 6-2 lead,
Basile ripped a free position shot past sophomore goalkeeper
Taryn Carbone (Cranston, RI) on the other end with 24:52 left to
play, making it just, 6-3. However, Rhode Island College rattled off
the next nine goals and shut out the Saints the rest of the way, en
route to the, 15-3, victory. |
