BLOOMSBURG - The Bloomsburg University women's lacrosse team had to wait a bit to make its debut at Steph Pettit Stadium, but made its first action on home turf impressive to say the least, dominating visiting Kutztown for an 18-8 victory under wintry conditions on Saturday afternoon.

The win is the fifth in a row for the Huskies who move to 5-2 overall and 4-0 in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference play while Kutztown slumps to 1-6, 0-4.

Bloomsburg wasted little time in taking control as Taylor Turner (Corning, N.Y./Corning West) deposited a pass from Marisa Moley (Phoenixville/Spring-Ford) into the net just 30 seconds into the game to start the scoring.

Moley set up the offense early, assisting on three goals over the first 5:04 with Carly Ball (Lansdale/North Penn) and Julie Falk (Millersville/Penn Manor) turning those passes into goals.

Kutztown got on the board following a goal from Kelli Serpi with 21:29 left in the half, but the Huskies netted five unanswered goals for a 7-1 cushion.

The Huskies never lost control, taking a 10-4 lead to halftime.

Kutztown got to within a 10-5 score after opening the second half with a goal from Jullian Spencer, but it would be as close as the visitors would get.

Patrice Coleman (Media/Penncrest ) answered with a Huskies goal just over a minute later with Brigid Kyne (Newtown Square/Marple Newtown) and Falk following with goals of their own to put the score at 13-5.

A trio of Huskies registered hat tricks - Coleman, Falk and Turner all scored three times apiece. Ball, Moley and Kyne all scored twice as well. Bloomsburg spread its offense around - Kate Shea (Mullica Hill, N.J./Clearview Regional), Ashley Nelson (Hatfield/North Penn) and Tracy Rusen (Martinsville, N.J./Bridgewater-Raritan) all posted goals as well.

Brittney Hegarty (Rochester/Rush Henrietta) made six saves to earn the win in net, playing the first 30 minutes. Abbey Burnett (Frederick, MD/Walkersville) took over for the second half and also turned away five shots.

Taylor Stone led Kutztown with a game-high four goals.

Bloomsburg remains at home to play No. 2 Lock Haven on Tuesday afternoon at 4 p.m. at Steph Pettit Stadium. Tuesday will be a Lax-4-Life Game.

GAME NOTES: Moley handed out a career high six assists and moved into fifth place all-time in Huskies career assists with 61 ... Falk moved into third in Huskies career goals with 174 ... The Huskies' 18 goals were the most for the team since an 18-13 win at Slippery Rock on April 5, 2014.
