The NCAA Division II women's lacrosse semifinals in Bloomsburg, Pa., will feature the same foursome that clashed last year in Denver, as Adelphi, Le Moyne, Lindenwood and Florida Southern all won their quarterfinals Saturday.
All were blowouts except for Le Moyne's 6-3 win over LIU Post, in which the Dolphins deployed a suffocating defense. The Pioneers pulled within 4-3 early in the second half, but Le Moyne shut the door from there and did not allow a goal in the final 10 minutes, 41 seconds.
Freshman attacker Sidney Hall scored two goals, as the Dolphins set a new program record for wins (19). They will play in the NCAA semifinals for the third straight year and for the fifth time in seven years.
The top seeds, Adelphi and Lindenwood, advanced easily to the final four for the fifth and fourth straight years, respectively.
