O’Hanlon Shines For Raiders In PL Semi Tilt

Freshman Haley O'Hanlon Tallied Five Points in Colgate's 16-7 Setback to Navy in the Patriot League Semifinals on Friday

BALTIMORE – Freshman Haley O'Hanlon finished with three goals and two assists, but third-seeded Navy cruised to a 16-7 victory over second-seeded Colgate in the second semifinal of the 2015 Patriot League Women's Lacrosse Championship Friday at the Ridley Athletic Complex.
 
The two teams traded goals early before back-to-back strikes from the stick of Katie Gallagher ignited the Mids to score eight straight goals and build a 10-2 cushion.
 
A goal by O'Hanlon at the 25:07 mark of the second half temporarily halted Navy's momentum, but the Mids followed O'Hanlon's strike with the next three goals to build their largest lead of the game, 13-3, and maintain control until the final whistle.

Colgate Head Coach Heather Young
(on game)
"Tough loss tonight to a great Navy team. We weren't able to get our shots to fall tonight and Navy did a great job of putting the ball in the net. I'm very proud of this team and especially our senior class. The seniors put in four years of hard work and I am forever grateful for their efforts to make this program the best that it could be."
