EAST STROUDSBURG – Eight different players registered points, highlighted by a two-goal effort from sophomore forward Bailey Quinn, as No. 2 East Stroudsburg University cruised to a 5-1 victory over Seton Hill in its annual "Think Pink" game on Saturday afternoon.

Sophomore Kelli Shapiro, sophomore Makenna Marhefka and junior Sydney McCarthy also scored for the Warriors (12-3, 6-1 PSAC), who upped their winning streak to five games. Junior Hannah Caplan, junior Melanie Shambaugh, senior Emily Howell and sophomore Paige Harrold earned assists for ESU.

Alesha Herman scored an unassisted goal early in the second half for the Griffins (2-12, 0-6 PSAC).

The Warriors had a 3-0 lead in the opening 25 minutes, with Quinn opening up the scoring at 4:39. Caplan fed her a pass from the right side, and Quinn lofted a high shot over Seton Hill goalie Jane Eberhardt. Quinn would add ESU's final goal with less than eight minutes to go in regulation, giving her a pair of markers in back-to-back contests.

The Griffins had two chances to get on the scoreboard just over 17 minutes in, but defensive saves from McCarthy and Howell maintained the first half shutout.

Shapiro and Marhefka's strikes came just over five minutes apart, with Shapiro scoring at 19:25 and Marhefka following at 24:49. Shots were 14-2 in favor of ESU in the first half and 30-3 for the game overall.

McCarthy's second goal of the season came at the 42:05 mark on a low shot from the left side of the circle.

With the win, the Warriors improved to 7-0 lifetime against Seton Hill.

ESU remains at Whitenight Field for its next contest, as the Warriors host IUP at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon.
