lead of the game. Wellesley would hold onto the 5-3 lead until Babson

Babson’s Siciliano started the Beavers three-goal run finishing
an assist from Bryant with nine minutes remaining to cut the lead
to 5-4. Four minutes later, Babson would knot the score up at five
goals a piece on Toni Pantuosco’s (Hampden, Mass.) lone goal
of the game, before Rad would complete the three goal run to give
the Beavers a one-goal advantage at 6-5 with 21 seconds left in
the first half.
Wellesley’s Kim would tie the score in the opening minutes
of the first half, but it was a close as the Blue would get the
rest of the way at Babson outscored Wellesley 10-6 in the second
half.

in the win, while Wellesley’s Alissa Gordon (Sudbury, Mass.)
