PHILADELPHIA - Senior attacker/midfielder Kelsey Maxwell (Center Moriches, N.Y.) scored two goals and senior defender Phoebe Ohnemuller (Mays Landing, N.J.) had another as Caldwell women's lacrosse fell in its CACC opener at Jefferson by a 24-3 count.

After Maxwell's first goal got the Cougars on the board with 6:42 left in the first quarter, Ohnemuller followed four minutes later with an unassisted tally to pull Caldwell to within 3-2.

Maxwell's other score came with just under 6:00 left in the third, on a feed from freshman midfielder Megan Molinelli (East Windsor, N.Y.).

Freshman goalkeeper Sarahkate Schneider (Somerset, N.J.) recorded 14 saves for Caldwell.

Sophomore defender Brady Kells (Parsippany, N.J.) grabbed a team-best three ground balls, while Molinelli's three draw controls topped the squad.
