BOSTON, Mass. -- Simmons Lacrosse fell to the Framingham State University Rams 16-9 in non-conference action Saturday afternoon at the Winsor fields. Kerry Kiley scored five goals and Chelsea Temple added four more to give the Rams their second win of the season.

The Rams opened the scoring early with Kiley beating Sharks goalkeeper Kelly Last (West Haven, Conn.) down low less than three minutes into the half. Brittany McLean buried a free position shot to double the score and Temple scored unassisted to increase the Rams lead to three.

Simmons freshman Caitlin McNamara (Abington, Mass.) connected with Becca Shea (Quincy, Mass.) twice, send two shots past Ram's goalkeeper Rebecca Rixan to bring the Sharks within one. Senior Meaghan Maurice (Portland, Maine) tied the game at three off an unassisted goal with 24:01 remaining in the half.

Framingham State scored seven unanswered goals in the half before McNamara found the back of the net off a stellar look from Shea.

The Sharks scored just twenty seconds into the second half when McNamara found Leanne Luke (Newton, Mass.) in the arc. Rams Zoe Reilly and Kiley combined for three more goals before Luke converted on a man up situation off an assist from Megan Coffey (Wilmot Flat, N.H.).

Sharks freshman Callie Warnock (Kingston, Mass.) won 19 draw controls to the Rams' seven and added a goal and four ground balls on the day. Simmons held a 37-26 advantage in ground balls but the Rams outshot the Sharks 44-24.

Simmons returns to the field on Tuesday, March 27th when they host Great Northeast Athletic Conference rival Rivier at 7:00 p.m.
