Rangers Roll To Lopsided ECAC Victory

MADISON, N.J. - The Drew women's lacrosse team dominated its ECAC Quarterfinal with Gwynedd-Mercy, 18-3. The Rangers will move on to face ECAC top seed Dickinson at Stevens Tech on Saturday.

Kenney added two more in the first for the dime lead. Stef Rutkowski was outstanding throughout the half, pitching a shutout while making 11 saves.

The Rangers would add an 11th after the restart from Coles. The Griffins got on the board with 24:05 left through Colleen Dellostretto. Kenney and Coles would both score again with a pair of Lindsey Perno goals in the middle. G-M would add two more in the second half, but the game was long decided.
