DURHAM, N.H. – Needing a win to keep themselves in the hunt for the America East women's lacrosse tournament, the Binghamton women's lacrosse team picked up a much-needed 18-17 win over New Hampshire Saturday at Wildcat Stadium.
Emma Blloshmi also made history on Saturday by breaking
Olivia Muscolino's single-season program record of 52 goals. The junior scored six goals for the second game in a row and third time this season to bring her season total up to 57. Blloshmi, who entered the game leading the country at 2.08 free position goals per game, scored another two from the eight-meter line to raise her total for 2025 up to 29.
Binghamton jumped out to a 1-0 lead less than a minute into the game on a free position goal by
Jess Robinson at 14:09 in the first quarter. The Bearcats only scored two more goals for the remainder of the quarter, courtesy of
Carla Curth and Blloshmi, as UNH responded with six tallies of their own to take a 6-3 lead into the second.
Both teams picked up three tallies in the second frame. UNH got the first two to go up 8-3 with 13:52 remaining. From then on, Binghamton began chipping away. Muscolino scored first to make it 8-4 at 9:38. Following a Wildcat goal, Binghamton finished the first half strong with goals from
Abigail Carroll at 3:08 and Blloshmi with eight seconds left to go into halftime down 9-6.
The Bearcats broke through in the second half with eight goals in the third quarter. Three of them came from
Marisa Tancredi to help her obtain her first hat trick of the season. Blloshmi also added another two during that 15-minute stretch. The outburst on offense helped the Bearcats take a 14-13 lead into the fourth quarter.
The Wildcats tied it up at 14 at13:56, before Blloshmi countered with her fifth goal of the day at 12:00 to help Binghamton retake the lead. When UNH tied the game again at 15 with 8:26 left, Binghamton responded with two goals in 33 seconds, the first being a tally from Christi Mastrorocco at 7:40, and the second coming on a free position shot from Robinson at 7:07. After UNH got a goal up a player at 5:42, Blloshmi provided insurance for the Bearcats with goal number six at 3:32. UNH got one more goal to bring it to 18-17 at 1:06, but Blloshmi won the ensuing draw control and the Bearcats ran out the clock to secure the win.
