MANSFIELD –

Â
The win is the seventh of the season for third-year head coach

Â
Mansfield (7-9, 2-6 PSAC) put heavy pressure on the Griffins early, but could not solve the defense until the 21

Christie Buyer across the goalmouth and placed it past the keeper. However, Seton Hill (3-13, 0-8 PSAC) found the equalizer minutes later when Zyah Newsome played a deflected ball into the cage to tie the score.
Â
Just one minute into the second half of play,
Katie Lipski collected a
Mikaila Chakon pass from the right side of the circle and beat the keeper to the right to regain the lead for the Mounties. It was the fourth goal of the season for Lipski.
Â
In the 54
th minute,
Abbie Predmore drove a long pass perfectly into the scoring zone where Jamison dove and slapped the ball between the keeper's legs and into goal to extend the lead. It was the first multi-goal performance of the sophomore's career.
Â
Mansfield dominated offensively, outshooting the Griffins 33-10 with 12 shots on goal. The Mounties also held a 21-2 advantage in penalty corners.
Â
Eight different Mountaineers recorded three or more shots in the game with Lipski leading the pack at five.
