TERRE HAUTE, IND. -- Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology sophomore Molly Richardson (Orange Park, Fla./St. John's Country Day) scored three goals in nine minutes in the second half to lead the Engineers past DePauw University 3-2 on Wednesday night.

DePauw jumped out to a 2-0 lead on goals by Abby Gerwin in the fourth minutes and Kristen McMahon in the 64th minute.

Richardson began the comeback with a breakaway goal in the 72nd minute to bring the Engineers within 2-1.

Sophomore Annmarie Stanley (Warrenville, Ill./Rosary) provided an assist on Richardson's second goal with a corner kick.  Another Richardson breakaway score led to the final margin of victory.

Freshman Julie Brennan (Indianapolis/Pike) picked up the victory in goal with three saves.  DePauw outshot the Engineers 17-15 in the evenly contested match, with Richardson firing 10 of Rose-Hulman's efforts.

The victory was a hallamark win for head coach Emily Hakeman, who played on a DePauw University team that reached the Final Four prior to graduation in 2003.

Rose-Hulman improved to 11-6 on the season and returns to action against Defiance College on Saturday.  The Engineers will earn a trip to the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference Tournament if they can defeat the Yellow Jackets on Saturday.  DePauw fell to 5-9-2 on the year.
