BRISTOL, R.I. – Roger Williams University junior Claire Halliday (Trenton, N.J.) and senior Kasey Beckwith (Franklin, Conn.) each tallied five goals in the Women's Lacrosse team's 16-4 home victory Thursday over The Commonwealth Coast Conference opponent Salve Regina University.

The Hawks needed just 25 seconds to score – a goal by Beckwith with an assist from Halliday. RWU senior Jessie Alden (Bourne, Mass.) scored only 35 seconds later on a free position shot. After Danica Delia (Norwalk, Conn.) scored an unassisted tally at 23:19, Salve Regina got on the board with a free position goal by freshman Kelly Burke (Georgetown, Mass.). It would be the lone goal of the half for the Seahawks, while RWU went on to score eight-straight goals for the 11-1 halftime lead.

RWU continued its scoring streak in the second half, notching the first four goals before Burke again broke the scoring streak. Beckwith scored the Hawks' final goal at 9:36 before Salve Regina seniors Sarah Baker (Summit, N.J.) and Erika Curtin (Huntington, N.Y.) moved the score to 16-4 by the final horn.

RWU picked up 12 of the 13 draw controls in the first half and totaled 20 shots compared to Salve Regina's six.
