TIFFIN, Ohio - The No. 20 Mercyhurst women's lacrosse team had three players post multi-goal games as they rebounded nicely from their first setback of the season with a comfortable 19-9 win on the road at Tiffin University on Saturday afternoon in non-conference action.  

The Lakers got out to a quick start with Emma Hubert and Brenna Fosco beating Alex Sklack in the opening two minutes to lead 2-0.  Elle Hamilton put the home team on the board with an unassisted tally with 2:24 gone cutting it down to 2-1.  Lacey Netti setup Hubert's second of the contest and Payton Cook found Molly Meegan at the 5:40 mark extending the advantage to 4-1.  Fosco buried her second of the afternoon to make it 5-1, before Hamilton added two more trimming the gap to just 5-3.  Hubert put away goals three and four of the day, but Daniela Carey along with Danielle Roberts kept Tiffin hanging around at 7-5 with under five minutes to go.  Mercyhurst closed the half on a 3-0 run, with markers from Paige Cocina, Julia Rescott and Hubert to lead 10-5 at the break.  

Carey and Hamilton both slipped shots past Lakers goalie Kaitlyn Lippert to give the home side life, 10-7 with 1:47 elapsed.  Marissa Comerate scored the visitors first of the period, before Fosco found both Torie Sullivan and Rescott pushing the margin to 13-7 not even ten minutes into the half.  The Netti to Rescott connection made it 14-7, however, Emily Chapman brought the margin back to 14-8 still with 16:24 remaining.  Rescott picked up goals two and three of the period in a 48-second span extending the lead to eight, 16-8.  Roberts netted her second of the day with an unassisted marker at the 15:49 mark.  Gina Perna, Rescott and Netti all buried unassisted goals to cap off the scoring at 19-9.  

Mercyhurst held a 39-17 edge in shots (33-16 on goal).  The Lakers also were a positive in groundballs (19-13) and draw controls (16-13).  Mercyhurst was flawless in the clear game going 15-15, while Tiffin went 13-16.  The Dragons were 4-7 on free position chances, with the Lakers converting 1-3.
