WEST WINDSOR TWP., NJ – Missing a few players and playing short-handed, Lackawanna College battled hard with Mercer County CC throughout Saturday afternoon's contest in the Garden State, but the Mustangs eventually pulled away for a 5-0 win in Region XIX Division II play.
 
The Falcons (1-7-0, 0-5-0) competed with just nine players, but accounted for themselves very well, trailing just 2-0 at halftime and holding to that margin well into the second half. Keeper Elizabeth DePrimo (Dunmore, PA) did her best in goal, coming up with 17 stops.
 
Seven minutes in, Mercer (8-4-4, 4-1-1) took advantage of the relentless pressure, pouncing on a loose ball after DePrimo had managed to parry away a long distance shot, going ahead 1-0 on the rebound. The Falcons defended well through the rest of the half, but Mercer found another goal, this time on a cross that was deflected up by a Falcon defender, eventually landing on the head of a Mercer player and looping over DePrimo to make it 2-0 after 30 minutes.
 
The Falcons once again defended well into the second half, but Mercer found a third in the 64^th minute, then added a fourth on a long-range free kick that whistled past DePrimo to make it 4-0. A fifth goal came in the 83^rd minute on a loose cross in the box that was spilled to the left to a wide-open player.
 
Lackawanna College has its home finale set for next Saturday, October 18^th, when the Falcons are set to host Essex County College. First kick is set for 12:00pm ET at Schautz Stadium in Dunmore, and the game is the first of a doubleheader, with the men's squads playing afterwards at 2:00pm ET.
