Erie, Pa. – The Mercyhurst College field hockey team concluded its 2008 campaign with a 5-0 victory over Seton Hill Tuesday afternoon at Tullio Field. With the victory, the Lakers finish the season with an overall record of 10-9 and a mark of 8-2 at home.

Loper increased the lead to 4-0 thanks to a successful conversion on a penalty stroke at 54:06 while senior Haley Brochu closed out the game with a tally at 57:26.
