Manchester, N.H. (May 1) -- On Senior Day on Saturday afternoon, the Saint Anselm women's lacrosse team ended the 2010 season with a 21-13 victory over Southern Connecticut in Northeast-10 play. Saint Anselm wraps up the season with a 6-8 overall record and a 4-7 mark in the Northeast-10.

Prior to the start of today's game, the Hawks honored seniors Tia Karon (Medford, Mass.), Alyson McDonough (Brunswick, Maine) and Katie O'Brien (Peabody, Mass.) for their contributions to the Saint Anselm women's lacrosse program during their four-year careers.

Saint Anselm got on the board just 12 seconds in as sophomore Jamie Lynn Comrie (Ashburn, Va.) took the opening draw control and scored for the 1-0 lead. SCSU's Teresa Monfredo (Shirley, N.Y.), one of seven seniors for the visitors, scored an unassisted goal of her own with 25:21 left in the first half to tie things up early on. Karon got things going just under four minutes later with the first of her six goals and the Hawks built the lead to 4-1.

With the Hawks leading 5-2 with 16:44 left in the opening period, KellyAnne McCafferty (Durham, N.H.) scored twice for the Owls, along with an unassisted goal from Elaina Heiple (Cheshire, Conn.), to tie the game at 5-5. The two teams went back and forth over the remainder of the half, but after goals from freshman Kaleigh Hunt (Sudbury, Mass.) and Karon in the final minutes of the half, the Hawks took an 11-8 lead into the halftime break.

Starting with a goal from McDonough early in the second half, the Hawks opened the period on a 6-1 scoring run and lead by a 17-9 margin with 17:30 left in the game. Three straight goals by McCafferty got the Owls to within 17-12, but they got no closer as the Hawks came away with the 21-13 victory.

Junior goalie Katherine O'Hara (Norwell, Mass.) finished with 15 saves in the victory, while Lisa Corso (North Bellmore, N.Y.) made a career-high 21 stops while falling to 0-13 on the season for the Owls.

Karon led the Hawks with six goals, along with three each from junior Leigh Krzyston (Bedford, N.H.) and freshmen Bryanna Hayes (Mansfield, Mass.) and Britini Hickman (Farmington, N.H.).

Karon ends her career at Saint Anselm with 64 career caused turnovers, second on the all-time list. Her 28 caused turnovers this season also ties Beth Millian for the second-highest single-season total in school history. With today's 15-save outing, O'Hara now holds the single-season Saint Anselm saves mark at 182, giving her three of the top six single-season totals in school history.
