Box Score

PHILADELPHIA - Sophomore Sarah Boucher tallied six points on five goals and one assist Tuesday afternoon at Tigers Field, but it was not enough for the Queens College women's lacrosse team (3-2), which dropped a road game at Holy Family University (1-2) by an 18-14 count.

Boucher added a game-best six draw controls for the Knights, while Meghan Monahan filled the stat sheet with three goals, one assist and three draw controls. Heather Rosen picked up two goals and one assist, while single goals were scored by Kayleen Kelty (2 gb, 1 a), Melissa Montreuil (3 gb, 2 ct), Brittany Wooster (game-high-tying 4 gb, 1 dc, 1 ct) and Julianne Lostrappo. Sophomore keeper Kahli Evans turned aside seven shots in net for Queens, which held advantages in shots (36-34) and ground balls (18-11), but were victimized by a 3-for-11 performance at the free-position, 8-meter arc.

Boucher and Rosen scored in the first 2:29 of the contest to stake the visitors to a 2-0 lead, before the host Tigers ripped off four straight markers to take a 4-2 lead with 25:15 left in the first half that it would hold onto the rest of the game. QC pulled within one-goal deficits at the 4-3 (Boucher, 24:49), 7-6 (Monahan's free-position shot, 9:19) and 8-7 marks (Boucher, 4:15), but could not get over the hump before heading into halftime down 10-8.

Lostrappo converted a Rosen feed 3:53 into the second half to bring Queens within one goal yet again at 10-9. But Holy Family scored three straight before the halfway mark of the 30-minute frame, and used a three-goal spurt late in the half to pull away for good.

Head coach Kerry Hausdorf's Queens squad is back in action Thursday night (Mar. 17), when it travels to New Haven, Conn., for a 4 p.m. face-off at Southern Connecticut.
