ECC Team Notes

	Daemen: Daemen (1-0, 0-0 ECC) picked up a victory in the first-ever game in program history, as the Wildcats posted a 14-10 win at Lake Erie Sunday. Daemen announced the addition of women's lacrosse as a varsity sport in the summer of 2021. Freshman Kylie Miranto (North Tonawanda, N.Y.) will get credit for scoring the first goal in program history, as her goal off a pass from graduate student Casey Decatur (Apollo Beach, Fla.) just 1:15 into the game gave the Wildcats a 1-0 lead. Decatur finished with a game-high seven points (3 gls, 4 asts), while junior Dana Bacher (Hamburg, N.Y.) notched a game-high five goals for the Wildcats. Daemen will play its first-ever home game Tuesday (Feb. 28) against Walsh.
	Dist. Columbia: The Firebirds went 1-2 on the week falling to Holy Family and Dominican, and defeating Alliance university. Their win against Alliance, broke a 40 game losing streak for the Firebirds and marks their first win since the 2018 season.
	D'Youville: No team notes submitted.
	Mercy: The No. 11 Mercy College women's lacrosse team went 0-1 on the week with a loss to No. 5 Le Moyne on Saturday. The Mavericks were led by sophomore Leena Moussa who had a team-high three goals. Mercy resumes action on Wednesday when they host Assumption at 3 p.m.
