LANCASTER, Pa. - Shannon Summers, one of 11 players who tallied a goal for Franklin & Marshall women's lacrosse team on Tuesday, recorded a game-high five points with two goals and three assists. Her efforts led the No. 3 Diplomats (3-0) to a 15-4 victory over No. 19 Rowan.

The win marks the third consecutive for F&M, and second straight over a ranked opponent, leaving F&M undefeated in the young season. Ashley Bevington tallied the lone hat trick of the day and added an assist.

Senior captain Kelly Angstadt led the Profs (1-1) with two goals and one assist.

The Diplomats scored their first three goals on as many shots before Rowan got a chance to get in its offensive end. Lauren Ehrhardt scored off a pass from behind the net from Summers just 58 seconds into the contest. Ehrhardt has scored F&M's first goal in each of the Diplomats' three games this season.
