MANCHESTER, N.H.-- Junior All-America Kristin Darrell (West Islip, N.Y.) notched six goals and four assists for her second 10-point performance of the season to lift fourth-ranked Stonehill to its 62nd straight Northeast-10 Conference women's lacrosse victory with a 21-9 league triumph over Southern New Hampshire Saturday afternoon at Larkin Field.
The visiting Skyhawks (8-0, 4-0 Northeast-10), who improved to 74-1 all-time in league play with the win, overcame a 6-5 lead that the host Penmen (3-2, 2-1 Northeast-10) had built with 12 minutes remaining in the opening half of action by scoring seven of the next eight goals before intermission en route to a 12-7 advantage at the break. Stonehill, which at one point scored eight unanswered tallies over a 19-plus minute stretch and 12 of 13 goals in just under 27 minutes of action, received markers from five different individuals in the first 18:56 of the second half to extend its lead to 17-7 before icing its triumph with four straight tallies in less than eight minutes. In all, the Skyhawks ended the match by scoring 16 of the final 19 goals over the final 47:49 of play.
