HACKETTSTOWN, N.J. - Host Centenary pulled away from Shenandoah in the second half to down the Hornets 16-8 in non-league women's lacrosse action Tuesday afternoon.

The Cyclones (8-0) led 8-6 at the break and pulled away by scoring five of the first six goals of the second half.

Shenandoah (7-6), which trailed 6-2 at the 12:50 mark of the first half, got as close as one goal thanks to a 3-0 run courtesy of freshman Amy Rollins.

Rollins had her first-ever natural hat trick by scoring at 11:08, 7:26 and 6:20. Unfortunately for the Hornets, CC scored twice within a 40-second span to take an 8-5 lead with just over two minutes remaining in the half.

Rollins closed out the first half scoring with her fourth goal, this time off an assist from Jennie Ott, at the 58-second mark.

Centenary scored the first two goals following the break, both on free position shots, and cruised home to the eight-goal win.

Rollins led SU with five goals with Ott adding a goal and three assists.

The Cyclones held a 52-18 advantage in shots, won 47 of 67 groundballs and 16 of 26 groundballs.

Shenandoah is back in action Saturday in a USA South Conference contest against Christopher Newport. A win over the Captains could set up a three-way tie for the league regular season title.
