Reading, Pa. (Apr. 13, 2016) - Albright College (8-4, 3-1) used a 13-goal first half to push past Alvernia University (4-6, 0-4) Wednesday afternoon in MAC Commonwealth Women's Lacrosse at Albright.

The Crusaders responded to every goal through the first 20 minutes. The Lions opened the contest with a 2-0 lead, but Julie Sutton notched her first of the day five minutes in to cut the lead in half.

After Albright put away another pair to extend the margin 4-1, Sutton struck again after a ground ball pickup to bring Alvernia within two.

The two squads exchanged goals before Kaitlin Ensulo netted a free position goal to close the gap 5-4.

Brooke Campione then mirrored Ensulo, ripping her own free position goal to balance out a Lion goal to stay within one.

The Lions then hit their stride, putting together a 10-point run across the end of the first and the start of the second to pull ahead 16-5.

The Crusaders tacked on six more goals through the second half, scoring three of the last four goals.

Sutton finished with a team high 3 goals on the day. Abby McCarthy and Angel Adams notched two goals a piece, while Alyson Keene and Tequila Donnelly each added a goal of their own.

The Crusaders return to their home turf on Saturday, hosting FDU- Florham at 1:00 pm.
