Fisher Scores 100th Career Goal, Leads Chargers Past Saint Anselm

WEST HAVEN, Conn. – Senior Corinne Fisher (Jackson, N.J./Jackson Memorial) recorded a career high eight points and scored her 100th career goal on Senior Day at Kayo Field to guide the No. 9 University of New Haven Women's Lacrosse team past Saint Anselm 15-11 in a Northeast-10 Conference game on Saturday afternoon.
 
Fisher scored five goals in the victory, equaling her career-high set earlier this season at Merrimack College on March 25th and at LIU Post on April 24, 2014.  Junior Nicole Belanger (Kinnelon, N.J./Kinnelon) and senior Maya Szymanski (Framingham, Mass./Framingham) each netted three goals, and junior Caitlyn O'Brien and sophomore Jessica Mazliah (Holbrook, N.Y./Sachem North) each scored twice for New Haven (11-4 overall, 9-2 NE-10).
 
Defensively, seniors Alyssa Gianotti (Monkton, Md./Hereford) and Marissa McDermott (Longmeadow, Mass./Wilbraham & Monson Academy) split game action between the pipes. Combined, the captains performed very well, saving a combined five shots. McDermott also earned her sixth victory of the season.
 
Saint Anselm (6-7 overall, 5-6 NE-10) scored first in the match from a goal by Erica Mattila. The goal came only one minute and eight seconds into the match, however Fisher answered 4:53 later, netting her first goal of the game, assisted by Caitlyn O'Brien. The Hawks then opened the game up, scoring three straight goals, all within four minutes of each other.
 
Shortly after, senior Szymanski and Fisher led the offensive attack, finding the back of the net three times. Fisher scored once again for the Chargers with 2:46 remaining in the half, followed up by an unassisted goal from Saint Anselm's Molly back to give the Hawks a 7-6 edge heading into halftime.
 
The Chargers then put together a second half attack that never let down, outscoring the Hawks 9-4 in frame. Belanger scored first to give the Chargers an 8-7 lead, a lead that the Blue and Gold did not let go of for the remainder of the game. Fisher then scored her first goal of the second half at the 13:08 mark. It was both her 34th of the season and her 100th career goal for New Haven. She becomes the thirteenth Charger in New Haven Women's Lacrosse history to reach the milestone.
 
The offense quickly shut the door with 4:58 remaining in the second half, when the Chargers scored three consecutive goals from Mazliah, Belanger, and Fisher.
 
New Haven returns to action for its final regular season home game of the 2016 season, when it takes on the Southern New Hampshire Penmen in a critical NE-10 match on Wednesday, April 27. Opening draw is set for 4:00 p.m.
