Box Score
MANSFIELD, Conn. – Strong offensive efforts from Eastern Connecticut women's lacrosse routed the Rhode Island College Anchormen for a deafening 19-4 Warrior's victory, Wednesday night at Rick McCarthy Field.

Complemented by trio hat tricks from Alexa Vizzini (Vernon, NJ), Thea O'Connor (Rocky Hill), and Emma Oliano (Wallingford), the Warriors overwhelmed the Anchormen in the first half and never looked back. The goals were the first at Eastern for O'Connor, a junior transfer and sister of former Eastern letterwinner, Bree.
