Strong Start Gives Devils 15-7 Win Over Arcadia

Box Score Glenside, PA - The College at Florham Devils jumped out to a 7-2 halftime advantage on their way to a 15-7 victory over Arcadia in Freedom Conference action on Tuesday afternoon.

With the win, the Devils improved to 6-5 (2-0 Freedom) while the Knights dropped to 4-7 (0-3 Freedom).

Junior midfielder Katie Rolwood got things started with a goal just 4:40 into the game before freshman midfielder Courtney Rendinaro made it 2-0 with 23:41 left in the half.  Arcadia scored two of the next three goals to cut their deficit to 3-2 with 13:07 to go but FDU scored the final four goals of the half to take a 7-2 lead into intermission.
