SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The College of Saint Rose brought the go-ahead run to the plate in the seventh before dropping today's Northeast-10 Conference game at Le Moyne 4-2.
Senior outfielder
Astasia Myler continued her hot streak at the plate, going a perfect 4-for-4 with a run scored in the setback. Myler, who was named to Monday's NE10 weekly honor roll, is batting .941 (16-for-17) across the last five games.
The Golden Knights (12-22/5-13 NE10) began the Upstate Challenge contest with a great opportunity, loading the bases with nobody out in the first. However, Le Moyne sophomore right-hander Lauren Nichols managed to escape the jam without allowing a run.

Le Moyne (21-15/13-6 NE10) put across a pair of runs in the second. With one out, senior outfielder Madison DeRita doubled in junior infielder Chelsie Delperuto.

Back-to-back solo home runs by senior outfielder Lauren Zazzaro and junior designated player Peyton Bellrose increased the Dolphin advantage in the third.
