Box Score GLENSIDE, Pa. – The FDU-Florham women's lacrosse team was eliminated from the Freedom Conference tournament on Thursday afternoon, falling to top-seeded Arcadia University 11-8 at Easton Field.

Freshman attack Joelle Manganella (Kenvil, N.J./Roxbury) flourished in the final game of her first season in Madison by netting four goals and adding five draw controls in the loss.

After falling behind 3-0, Manganella found the back of the net for her 40^th goal of the season and the Devils first of the afternoon. Less than two minutes later, freshman Brienna Reasoner (Flemington, N.J./Hunterdon Central) found Caitlyn McGinley (Mount Laurel, N.J./Camden Catholic), who promptly netted the Devils second goal of the contest. The two teams traded goals and FDU-Florham trailed the Knights 5-3 at the break.

The Knights notched the first goal of the second half before Manganella struck twice, which brought the Devils back within one at 6-5. Unfortunately, this was as close as the Devils would get, as Arcadia tallied three goals over the next four minutes to build their cushion to 9-5.

Trailing 11-6, junior Courtney Rendinaro (Hillsborough, N.J./Hillsborough) scored back-to-back goals but it was too little too late for FDU-Florham and they ultimately fell 11-8.

Rendinaro, the reigning Freedom Conference Offensive Player of the Year, finished with two goals, while freshman defender Kelsey Ryan (Succasunna, N.J./Roxbury) caused four turnovers in defeat. The Devils (7-10, 4-2 Freedom) dropped the game despite outshooting the Knights 33-17 and dominating draw controls 15-6 in the contest. Rendinaro and Manganella finish the season tied for the team-lead with 43 goals apiece.

Arcadia's sophomore goalie Jordyn Dunacusky made 13 stops in the win, while the Knights featured a balanced offensive attack and had four different players total two goals.
