Manchester, N.H. (April 26)-The Saint Anselm College women's lacrosse team fell to the No. 2 Pioneers of C.W. Post 19-5 Sunday afternoon at Grappone Stadium on senior day. Michaela Rocha's (Rye, N.H.) second-half goal was the 57th of the season, setting a new Saint Anselm record.

Saint Anselm, who lost the tiebreaker to Franklin Pierce for the NE-10 post-season tournament, ends their season at 5-10 overall, while the win improves the Pioneers to 15-1 in 2009.

After C.W. Post jumped out to a 6-0 lead, Rocha put the Hawks on the board at the 19:53 mark to make it 6-1 when she took a pass from freshman midfielder Meghan Smith (Pittsford, N.Y.). Smith would score on a free-position shot five minutes later to make it 8-2, but Jaclyn Napoli's (West Islip, N.Y.) third goal of the first half with 45 seconds remaining made it 14-2 at the half.

At halftime, seniors Kayleigh Farrell (Nashua, N.H.), Michaela Power (Arlington, Mass.) and Rocha were honored.

In the second half, Rocha's goal with just over 12 minutes to play, off a free-position shot rebound, gave her the single season record. With six minutes remaining, Farrell notched her second career goal on a free-position shot for the Hawks to make it 18-4 visitors. Smith would add another goal on a free-position shot and Michelle Fucich (Seaford, N.Y.) scored for the Pioneers with 21 seconds remaining, on a behind the back shot for the 19-5 Hawk loss.

Saint Anselm goalie Katherine O'Hara (Norwell, Mass.) made eight saves and allowed 17 goals in the loss, while C.W. Post netminder Sam Powers (Holbrook, N.Y.) made eight saves and allowed two goals in her 15th win of the season.

Rocha leaves the Hawks with 203 career points, 145 goals and 61 assists, all of which are second all-time in school history. In 2009, her 57 goals, 34 assists and 91 points are all single-season Saint Anselm records.
