HACKETTSTOWN, N.J. (Apr. 18, 2017)- Senior Abby Voelkner (Denville, N.J. / Morris Knolls) recorded a hat-trick and became the school's all-time leading goal scorer as the Centenary University women's lacrosse team fell to Neumann University, 20-3 on Tuesday afternoon.

Kaitlyn Conrad finished with six points on six goals for the Knights who improve to 7-8 overall and 6-2 in the Colonial States Athletic Conference. Sophomore Renee Hack (Old Bridge, N.J. / Bishop George Ahr) made 10 saves for the Cyclones who fall to 2-10 overall and 2-6 in the CSAC.

Voelkner came into the contest sitting at 201 and needing just two goals to secure the top spot after scoring her 200^th career goal in the loss to Marywood on Apr. 13^th. After Voelkner scored her 50^th goal of the season and cut the Knights early lead to 2-1 with 25:44 remaining, Neumann responded with three unanswered to propel them to a 5-1 advantage with 22:34 remaining.

Voelkner would become Centenary's all-time scorer just over a minute later, when she scored on a free position shot and cut Neumann's lead to 5-2. Voelkner would score one more time in the opening stanza with a goal at the 19:30 mark. Neumann broke the game open with eight unanswered goals over the final 19:30 for a 14-3 halftime lead. The Knights held the Cyclones scoreless in the second half, while adding on to their halftime advantage with six goals.

Voelkner added seven draw controls and a groundball, while fellow classmate Priscilla Ortiz (Denville, N.J. / Morris Knolls) totaled six groundballs, four draw controls and two caused turnovers. Hack totaled three groundballs, while junior Katie O'Connell (Nutley, N.J. / Nutley), freshman Cailin O'Hara (Doylestown, Pa. / Central Bucks West), and freshman Kassidy Scheuring (Hampton Bays, N.Y. / Hampton Bays) all tallied two groundballs apiece.

Voelkner is also just six points away from moving into first on Centenary's all-time points list. She also needs just one draw control to become first all-time in that category as well.   

Head Coach Julie Moir and the Cyclones will return to action in Radnor, Pa. on Saturday, Apr. 22^nd, against the Cavaliers of Cabrini University at 12:00 p.m.
