EAST STROUDSBURG - Senior back Ashley Ceschini scored her first career goal 59 seconds into the game, senior forward Bailey Quinn scored two goals and senior midfielder Kelli Shapiro had two assists, leading No. 2-ranked East Stroudsburg University to a 5-0 win over No. 9 LIU Post in non-conference field hockey on Wednesday afternoon at Whitenight Field.

Ceschini's goal, ESU's second-fastest into a game in the last 15 years, was the first of three first-half goals for the Warriors (2-1), who split an opening weekend trip to New England, winning 3-2 at previously No. 9 Merrimack and falling 1-0 at No. 6 Stonehill, which moved into a share of the No. 2 spot in this week's NFHCA DII poll with ESU.

The Warriors outshot LIU Post (0-2), the defending DII runner-up, by an 18-1 margin - 9-1 in the first half, and 9-0 in the second half. The Pioneers fell 4-3 (OT) vs. unranked Bentley in their opener last Saturday.

Ceschini's opener, coming in her 42nd career start, was assisted by Shapiro off an early ESU penalty corner.

Quinn scored 8:47 into the first half, and senior midfielder Paige Harrold made it 3-0 at the 22:32 mark.

In the second half, junior midfielder Karly Conway scored from Shapiro, and Quinn converted a penalty stroke with just under 12 minutes left.

Quinn has three goals through three games, and 24 in 38 starts for the Warriors after earning second team All-America honors with 13 goals as a junior last season.

Harrold scored her 10th career goal, to go with 20 assists, in her third season as a starter. She had three goals and eight assists last fall.

Shapiro has three assists in three games after posting eight goals and three assists as a junior. Conway's goal was her third after scoring two as a sophomore.

Junior goalkeeper Maddie Richie was not forced to make a save in posting her first career shutout.

Rachel Vellis had two saves for LIU Post after backstopping the Pioneers to their DII runner-up finish as a freshman.

LIU Post fell 4-1 to Shippensburg in the national title game last season, after Ship advanced with a 2-1 win over ESU.

The Warriors face Shippensburg, the two-time defending national champion, for the first of two meetings this season with a road trip next Wednesday. The Raiders (3-0), who last played on Sunday, will have 10 days off before hosting ESU. The second meeting will be October 3 in a PSAC match-up at Whitenight Field. The first game will not count towards the conference standings.
