New Haven, Conn. – The visiting Trinity College Bantams scored five second-half goals en route to a 6-1 victory over the Albertus Magnus Falcons in women's action this afternoon.  The Falcons finish the regular season with an 11-5-2 overall record, while Trinity closes the year at 5-8-1 with its first win in six matches.

Trinity took a 1-0 lead into the half-time break as sophomore Maggie Crowe (Lowell, Mass.) scored her first career goal in the fourth minute of play. With the Bantams' first corner kick of the afternoon, sophomore midfielder Elisa Dolan (Bethesda, Md.) sent the ball into the box where Crowe was there to head it into the back of the net.

A goal by Shelley Mirmina (Milford, Conn.) in the 53rd minute tied the contest at 1-1 as Mirmina beat the Trinity rookie goalie Monica DiFiori (Manhattan Beach, Calif.) to the ball on a long pass from senior Kelly Marchitto (West Haven, Conn.).

The Bantams answered with five-straight goals, as first-year forward Alexa Menard (Wallingford, Conn.) and sophomore Karyn Barrett (Cape Elizabeth, Maine) each tallied two goals in the second frame, while Dolan added a tally of her own.  Menard tallied the eventual game-winning goal in the 55th minute as she received the ball from Dolan and went one-on-one with the keeper in the box to score her third goal of the year.

Marchitto and Mirmina both tallied a team-high four shots as Mirmina put three of those shots on goal. Albertus was outshot 29-16 on the afternoon.  Christina Dineson (Milford, Conn.) made six stops in net and allowed one goal in 45 minutes of work, while freshman keeper Maria Case (West Haven, Conn.) played the final 45 minutes and allowed five goals, while recording four saves.  Monica DiFiori had four saves.
