SYRACUSE, N.Y. (September 6,

Le Moyne sophomore goalkeeper Amanda Abbatiello (Liverpool, N.Y./Liverpool) made two saves for her first career shutout. Sophomore Danielle Hodecker (West Springfield, Mass./West Springfield) made eight saves in the setback for AIC. The Dolphins outshot their guests 29-2.
