NEW HAVEN, Conn. (December 11, 2014) – The Franklin Pierce Women's Track & Field team came out firing on all cyllenders with strong showing at the Elm City Challenge hosted by Southern Connecticut State University.

Loney would find her way back into winning conversation along with sophomore Holly Lindoe (Holbrook, N.Y.), junior Danielle Koch (Coventry, Conn.), and junior Alyssa Lambert (Manchester, N.H.) as the four took home first place in the Women's Distance Medley with a time of 12:50.21.

Freshman Nicole Galewski (Pembroke, Mass.) would also appear atop the leaderboard on the field side of things, as she soared to a second place finish in the Women's Long Jump with a distance of 5.32 meters.
