BROOKVILLE, N.Y. (Apr. 9, 2017) - Ten different players tallied at least one point Sunday for the No. 6/5 LIU Post women's lacrosse team in a 17-3 rout of East Coast Conference foe Roberts Wesleyan College at Bethpage Federal Credit Union Stadium.

Senior attacker Connor Bird (Syosset, N.Y.) had a game-high five points (4 G, 1 A) and three caused turnovers in the win. Freshman midfielder Alyssa Mallery (Wantagh, N.Y.) registered four goals and won six draw controls.

Red-shirt senior attacker Alexis Newman (Medford Lakes, N.J.) notched three goals, including a pair of free-position tallies. Freshman attacker Angela Deren (Greenlawn, N.Y.) dished out two assists.

Leading 2-1 at the midway point of the first half, the Pioneers (8-1, 4-0 ECC) closed out the period on a six-goal run to bring an 8-1 lead into the locker room.

Newman and Bird each collected a pair of goals in the spurt. Freshman midfielder Brianna Feldman (Ponte Vedra, Fla.) and freshman defender Hannah von Hollen (Severna Park, Md.) added tallies, as well.

Then, in the second half, the green and gold kept their foot to the gas pedal and scored six unanswered goals from the onset to pull away for the victory.

Mallery ignited the run with back-to-back tallies in a 32-second stint. Freshman attacker Jessica Vigh (Holtsville, N.Y.) pitched in a goal and an assist.

Freshman midfielder Paige Sherlock (West Islip, N.Y.) amassed four ground balls in the effort. Sophomore midfielder Ryan McKinney (Downingtown, Pa.) recorded a goal and two caused turnovers.

Between the pipes, junior goaltender Olivia Kirk (Farmingdale, N.Y.) made a game-high nine saves for LIU Post. It was her third-highest save output of the year (11 at Stonehill; 10 at East Stroudsburg).

For the contest, the Pioneers nearly tripled up their opposition in shots (37-15), while holding a 20-17 edge in ground balls and a 21-1 advantage in draws. They were also a near-perfect 6-of-7 (85.7 percent) on free-position shots.

Head Coach Meghan McNamara and her LIU Post squad are back in action Wednesday (Apr. 12), when they face off against ECC nemesis Queens College at Bethpage Federal Credit Union Stadium at 4 p.m.
