It was Senior Day at Cedar Crest College, as the Falcons recognized Kim Katsigianis (Amherst, NH/Souhegan), Leia Epstein (Plymouth Meeting, PA/Plymouth-Whitemarsh) and Cassandra Bejar (Allentown, PA/William Allen).

The three seniors did not disappoint either.  With all three starting the game the Falcons got off to a hot start.  In the first half alone, the Falcons set a season high for goals with 12 goals on 19 shots, and finished the solid first half with 25 groundballs.  The Falcons as a team also controlled the ball successfully at mid-field with 11 first half draw controls to go with 12 goals.

At halftime, the three senior would once again be recognized with flowers and teams pictures and a halftime fire up speech by head coach Cindy Joseph.

The second half however would not start the Falcons way as they saw their 10 point advantage nearly completely disappear.  Leading 13-2 early in the second half, the Bryn Mawr Owls would go on a four goal team in the matter of seven minutes to bring the score to 13-6.  Jen Harbison (Phillipsburg, NJ/Phillipsburg) and Emily Rodenberger (Pennsburg, PA/Upper Perkiomen High School) would put one in the net each to push the score back to nine, before the Owls would take advantage of their second man up oppurtunity to make it 15-8.  Amber Wehry (Klingerstown, PA/Tri-Valley Jr/Sr) and Gerlie Loyola (Manorville, NY/Eastport South Manor Jr/Sr ) would finish off the game in the final three minutes to close out the Falcons season with a win.
