#7 Devils Knocked Off By #2 Alvernia, 2-1, In ECAC Tournament

READING, PA - The seventh-seeded College at Florham Devils were defeated by second-seeded Alvernia, 2-1, in the Quarterfinals of the ECAC Mid-Atlantic Region Tournament on Wednesday afternoon.

With the loss, the Devils finished the 2011 season with a record of 12-10.  The Crusaders improved to 14-7.

FDU got on the board first with just 5:09 left before halftime when junior defender Marybeth Weimer scored off a feed from senior forward Lauren Guenther.  The Devils kept their lead through intermission and through the first 15:00 of the second half before Alvernia tied it at 1-1 at the 50:16 mark.  The Crusaders then got the game-winner just six minutes later although the Devils did have a few opportunities down the stretch to tie the game but couldn't convert.  In the game, Alvernia held an 18-13 advantage in shots while FDU had a 15-14 edge in penalty corners.

Sophomore goalkeeper Tess Loughran suffered the loss, making nine saves.
