COLBY DOUBLES-UP WELLESLEY 14-7
BRUNSWICK, Maine – Cara Dionisi (Sudbury,
Mass.) led all scorers with three goals to power Colby past Wellesley
14-7 in a non-conference women’s lacrosse match-up Sunday.
Dionisi was one of five Colby (2-4) players to score at least two
goals as the White Mules tallied seven goals in each half for the
win. Wellesley has now lost three straight games and stands at 0-3
on the season.
Colby’s Kelsey Neville (Duxbury, Mass.), Sarah Burlingham
(Radnor, Pa.), and Julia Benedict (Dover, Mass.) each netted two
goals a piece while Elizabeth Ghilardi (Norwell, Mass.) finished
with two goals and an assist. Wellesley native Emma Miller (Wellesley,
Mass./Winsor School) added a goal and a game-high three assists
for Colby.
First-year Casey Logan (Scituate, Mass.) led Wellesley in scoring
with two goals and an assist and chipped in defensively with four
caused turnovers and five draw controls while Dawn Kim (Greenwich,
Conn.) and Laura Bender (Mattapoiset, Mass.) each added two goals
for the Blue. Kim had a team-high eight ground balls for the Blue
and Bender led Wellesley in caused turnovers with five.
Wellesley keeper Alissa Gordon (Sudbury, Mass.) made 16 saves while
her Colby counterpart Catherine O’Brien (Reading, Vt.) turned
back 13 Wellesley shots.
Wellesley returns to action at home Tuesday, March 30 in its NEWMAC
opener versus Wheaton College (Mass.) at 4 p.m. Last season, Wheaton
overcame a 7-5 halftime deficit to earn its first win over Wellesley
since 1994 with an 11-10 decision.
