MILLERSVILLE, Pa. - Adelphi represented Millersville's third-straight nationally-ranked opponent, and the Marauders rolled to 3-0 with a convincing 5-2 victory. 

It was all Millersville from the start as the Marauders did not surrender a shot or a penalty corner until the third period. Millersville led 4-0 before Adelphi got on the scoreboard, and Millersville finished the game with a 32-8 advantage in shots and a 17-6 edge in corners. For Adelphi, seven of those shots and five of the corners came late in the fourth with Millersville's win already well in hand. 

Millersville's five goals were scored by five different players, and Kate Strickland scored for the third-straight game. Ashlynn Lennon, Caitlin Wasserman and Codi Bollinger added assists. 

HOW IT HAPPENED
• Pili Zaballa's first goal of the season put Millersville on the board seven minutes into the first quarter as she redirected Lennon's shot off a penalty corner. Qhayiya Nogoduka did the same on Wasserman's shot in the 25th minute.
• The Marauders broke open the game in the third quarter when Kortlin Yetter and freshman Emma Ruley both scored in a span of just over three minutes. Bollinger's extra effort pushed the ball through traffic to Yetter, who tallied her first goal of the season. Ruley scored one-on-one against Adelphi's goalkeeper, following her initial shot off the pads with a second effort. Strickland capped the scoring, corralling a loose ball before finding the back of the cage. 

POSTGAME REACTION FROM SHELLY BEHRENS
• On the team's performance: "I thought at times we fought ourselves energy-wise. From the third quarter on we had some great combinations. Now we know what it's like to play a mid-week game. I'm happy with the game. We keep learning and getting better."
• On the fast start: "I think (Adelphi is) a dangerous team and their corners are dangerous. We changed some things structure-wise. I needed to see what our team can do, so we changed some things and they responded. I have great faith in our defense, and we were able to give some players some experience late in the game."
• On five goals from five players: "I think there is some versatility within us. Credit the players for that. Some players are sacrificing minutes here and there for others. Versatility on the field, finishing, I saw some great second and third efforts today. That's what makes us Millersville. Especially at home, we value that. It's about selflessness. Anything I asked them to do, they made the adjustment."

NOTES
• Millersville's five goals were a season high as were the 32 shots and 23 shots on goal. 
• Bollinger and Wasserman's assists and Ruley's goal were the first of their careers. 
• Millersville is now 2-0 all-time against Adelphi.
