CANTON, N.Y. (March 16, 2007) -- Senior Beth Quartier recorded a career-best seven points on three goals and four assists Friday to lift visiting Nazateth to a 12-7 women's lacrosse victory over St. Lawrence.

Nazareth overcame freezing temperatures that featured a wind chill in the teens to win its second game of the season without a defeat. St. Lawrence was playing its first game of the season.

"It was one of the coldest games I've ever been involved in," said Nazareth Coach Sue Behme, "but the kids didn't let the weather effect their play."

Quartier (pictured) had assists on Nazareth's first three goals -- by Maggie Mullin, Jennifer Young and Nora Davis -- and then scored Nazareth's fourth goal as the Golden Flyers jumped to an early lead.

St. Lawrence got on the scoreboard with 10 minutes left in the half, but the Golden Flyers countered with a goal by Tia Morgia to make the score 5-1 at halftime.

After St. Lawrence scored the first goal of the second half, Nazareth rattled off six straight goals in a dominant seven-minute stretch to put the game away. Quartier and Morgia each scored twice during the stretch while Young and Jessica McArdle also scored. Davis scored Nazareth's 12th goal off an assist from Quartier.

Sophomore Maria Fusco played the first 56 minutes in goal and had eight saves.

Nazareth returns to action Thursday for another non-conference game at Hamilton at 4 p.m.
