WELLESLEY SLIDES BY MIT 14-10
WELLESLEY, Mass. – Dawn Kim (Greenwich,
Conn.) scored four goals and passed off two assists to power Wellesley
past MIT 14-10 in the first round of the 2004 New England Women’s
and Men’s Athletic Conference Women’s Lacrosse Championship.
With the win fourth-seed Wellesley advances to the semifinals of
the championship and will face-off against top-seed Wheaton College
(12-2, 6-0 NEWMAC), Saturday, April 24 at 2:30 p.m.
Kim was one of four Wellesley players to score at least three goals
as Laura Bender (Mattapoisett, Mass.), Maxine Brownstein (Roseland,
N.J.) and Casey Logan (Scituate, Mass.) tallied three goals each
for the Blue (4-8, 3-3).
Debbie Cheng (Valley Cottage, N.Y.) and Kelsey Presson (Needham,
Mass.) paced fifth-seed MIT (3-8, 2-4) with three goals apiece.
Trailing 9-6 early in the second half, MIT rallied to knot the
score up at nine goals apiece with just over 11 minutes remaining
on the heels of a three-goal spurt from Presson, Deanna Lentz (Gaithersburg,
Md.) and Stephanie Hsu (Winter Park, Fla.).
Wellesley rebounded, however, with a three-goal run of its own to
take a 12-9 lead. Logan’s third goal of the game with 8:39
remaining gave the Blue its lead back at 10-9. Brownstein followed
with her first of three goals in the final six minutes of action
to give Wellesley a two-goal cushion with 5:22 remaining on an assist
from Logan, before Kim closed out the three-goal run with her fourth
goal of the game with 4:16 left.
MIT’s Elizabeth Lin (East Brunswick, N.J.) cut the Wellesley
advantage to two at 12-10 with her lone score of the game with 3:06
on the clock, but Wellesley’s Brownstein would put the game
out of reach for the Engineers firing off Wellesley’s final
two goals in the last minute of action for her second and third
goals of the game.
