The CCSU women’s lacrosse team fell to 0-12 on the season after being embarrassed at home by NEC rivals Monmouth 21-5 Sunday at Arute Field.

On a windy afternoon, the Blue Devils were down 9-3 at halftime, only to be outscored in the second half 12-2 in what was the worst loss of the season.

Goaltender Alice Lee made nine saves and gave up 14 goals in just over 47 minutes of work before she was pulled in favor of backup Erin Delancey, who gave up seven goals and made two saves for the remainder of the game.

Ashley Mara, Stephanie John, Ashley Perkoski and Lyndsey Mastandrea all had a goal for the Blue Devils, while Michele Conway had a goal and an assist in a losing effort.

Conway scored with 26:35 remaining in the first half to tie the game at 1-1, but this would be the closest that CCSU would come the entire game.

For Monmouth (6-6), Molly O’Brien, Shawn Evans and Megan Brennan all had four goals for the Eagles, while Ali Pollock added three and a whopping seven assists. Kaitlin Feeney added two goals, while Sam Lillo, Brit McLaughlin, Perry DeWitt and Carissa Franzi all added a goal.

Monica Johnson saved seven and gave up three goals for the Eagles in the first half, while Kirby Mundor made a save and gave up two goals in the second half. Monmouth outshot CCSU 37-15. CCSU committed 20 turnovers to Monmouth’s 10.

Next up for the Blue Devils is Thursday at Robert Morris at 4 p.m. They will play again at home against Manhattan on Tuesday, April 14 at 7 p.m.
