Loretto, Pa – The Saint Francis lacrosse team (7-10, 3-4 NEC) celebrated its four seniors on Sunday in a 14-10 win against Sacred Heart (2-14, 2-5). The senior attacking trio of Sarah Mahon (Malverne, N.Y./Kellenberg Memorial), Jessica Mazzur (Dallastown, Pa./York Catholic), and Jessica Fischetti (Massapequa, N.Y./Plainedge) led the way for Saint Francis, as they each found the back of the net in their final home game at DeGol Field.

Concheck's Reaction

"I am proud of this team and these seniors for ending the season on a high note," said head coach Kara Concheck. "These seniors have left the program better off than when they entered it and that is a testament to their hard work. I am excited for them to go out with a win."

Turning Point

After Sacred Heart's Cassie Cesario tied the game at eight, the Red Flash responded with a 4-0 run giving them a 12-8 lead with 21:01 remaining in the game.
