LANCASTER, Pa. – No. 5 Franklin & Marshall earned a 3-0 shutout victory over Bryn Mawr in Centennial Conference (CC) competition on Saturday.

The Diplomats improved to 15-1, 9-0 CC while the Owls fell to 13-2, 6-2 CC.

F&M tallied the first score of the game in just the third minute of action. Lily Mynott found the back of the cage for the CC-leading 19th time this season to take an early 1-0 lead.

In the 13th minute, the Diplomats added another when Ellie Paige crossed the ball to Addie Peters on the left side, giving F&M a two-point cushion heading into the first break.
