ERIE, Pa. – Senior captain Meghan Agosta scored her 151st career goal to become all-time leading goal scorer in NCAA history, as the third-ranked Mercyhurst College women's hockey team posted a 6-2 victory over Robert Morris on Friday evening at the Mercyhurst Ice Center.

Agosta surpassed Harvard's Nicole Corriero, who set the record at 150 during the 2004-05 season, when she connected off a pass from junior Bailey Bram on the power play at 15:18 of the second period. She later added her 152nd goal as a Laker in the third period, completing her two-goal evening.

Mercyhurst, which closes out the regular season 27-5-0 overall, 16-0-0 in College Hockey America play, scored two goals in each period to move to 27-0-0 all-time against Robert Morris and send its graduating players out in style on senior night. Prior to the game, the Lakers honored the achievements and accomplishments of Ashley Harper, Melissa Lacroix, Vicki Bendus, Kylie Rossler, Meghan Corbett, Jesse Scanzano, Cassea Schols and Agosta with a special ceremony at center ice.

In addition to Agosta, eight other Lakers got in on the scoring action. Scanzano, Schols, Bram and junior Kelley Steadman each totaled two points with a goal and an assist, while Corbett and freshman Christine Bestland matched their efforts by dishing out two helpers apiece.

Junior Jess Jones, sophomore Samantha Watt and freshmen Christie Cicero and Lauren Barnes all added assists.

Mercyhurst and Robert Morris traded goals in the first 10 minutes of the game before the Lakers went on a roll with the next three over a span that bridged the first and second periods. Steadman opened the game when she beat RMU netminder Meeri Raisanen on the rush at the 6:44 mark. The Colonials countered shortly after, as Sara O'Malley knotted the game at one at 7:32.

Following a six-minute span that saw both team skate up and down the ice, the Lakers broke the tie and went ahead for good when Bram deflected in a shot from the left side of the cage with 6:25 to play. Agosta and Schols then streched the score to 4-1 with a pair of goals less than five minutes apart at the 15:18 and 19:24 marks of the second.

After the break, RMU got back on the board when Brianna Delaney struck with two Lakers in the penalty box at 6:36 before the Lakers closed out the game with tallies courtesy of Agosta at 7:31 and Scanzano at 19:20.

Junior Hillary Pattenden earned the win in net for Mercyhurst with 22 saves, while Raisanen suffered the loss with 39 stops. Mercyhurst outshot Robert Morris 45-24 for the game and went 1-for-2 on the power play. RMU, meanwhile, finished 1-for-7 with the man advantage.

With the regular season completed, Mercyhurst returns to action next weekend as the No. 1 seed in the 2011 CHA Postseason Tournament, hosted by Syracuse Mar. 3-5. The Lakers will take on the winner of the Robert Morris / Wayne State machup on Friday, Mar. 4 at 4 p.m. at Tennity Ice Pavilion.
