Box Score BUFFALO, N.Y. - The Tomcat women's lacrosse squad earned their fourth win of the season as they defeated the Hawks of Hilbert College by a score of 20-3 on Saturday.

Three Tomcats tied for the team-high in goals scored, as Emily Harrigan (West Hartford, Conn./Hall), Kelley Bellia (Beaver Falls, Pa./Blackhawk) and Beth Snider (Pittsburgh, Pa./Shaler Area) each scored four goals.  Snider added a pair of assists to give her 13 points in the past two contests and 32 on the season. They were joined by two-goal days from Cassy Mahdi (Odenton, Md./Arundel) and Sharr Martin (San Diego, Calif./The Preuss School UCSD). Mahdi also recorded a team-best four assists in the win, giving her 11 assists on the season. A trio of Tomcats chipped in a goal apiece, as Kenady Hubbard (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada/Moon Area), Hannah Stelmach (Reading, Pa./Governor Mifflin), Amanda Baur (Palmyra, N.J./Palmyra) and Jenna Simanovsky (Plainsboro, N.J./West Windsor-Plainsboro North) all found the back of the net. It is the first goal of the season for Simanovsky, and the fourth goal in two games for Hubbard.

Bellia followed that by scoring just 23 seconds later to make it 2-0 Tomcats.  Hilbert got on the scoreboard six minutes later to bring the score to 2-1 with 21:27 left.
