PURCHASE, NY – Avery Jillson Neuwirth (Croton-On-Hudson, NY) tied a Maritime College women's lacrosse program record with eight assists on Tuesday, as the Privateers (9-2, 4-0 Skyline) earned a 19-2 win over Purchase (2-6, 0-3 Skyline) at Purchase College Turf Field.  She also had a goal in the game to finish with a career-high nine points.
