MCGUIGAN LEADS WELLESLEY PAST MIT 12-5
WELLESLEY, Mass. – Lydia McGuigan (New York, N.Y.)
scored three goals and passed off three assists to lead Wellesley
past MIT 12-5 in a New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic
Conference (NEWMAC) women’s lacrosse game, Tuesday at Wellesley.
McGuigan was one of three Wellesley players to score three goals
as Dawn Kim (Greenwich, Conn.) and Laura Bender (Mattapoiset,
Mass.) each tallied a hat-trick to pace the Blue to their second
win in as many games. Wellesley is now 2-6 overall and 2-3 in the
NEWMAC while MIT falls to 2-7 overall and 1-4 in conference action.
Audrey Gill (Exeter, N.H.) scored two goals and Evelyn Redmond
(Jaffrey, N.H.) netted her first collegiate goal to round out the
Wellesley scoring.
MIT’s Kesley Presson (Needham, Mass.) led the Engineers with
two goals, while Debbie Chang (Valley Cottage, N.Y.), Deanna Lentz
(Gaithersburg, Md.) and Carri Chan (Lincoln, Mass.) chipped in with
a goal each.
Up by just a goal at 5-4 heading into the halftime break, Wellesley
broke open the game with two goals in the opening two minutes of
the second stanza. Redmond netted Wellesley’s first goal of
the second half on a pass from McGuigan with 28:36 on the clock.
McGuigan quickly followed with a goal of her own just 19 second
later on an assist from Kim to give the Blue a 7-4 lead.
Wellesley also turned up its defensive pressure in the second
half, holding MIT to just one goal while forcing eight caused turnover
in the second half. Wellesley ended the contest with 13 caused turnovers
for the game.
MIT’s Hee Jay Kang (Old Tappan, N.J.) made seven saves for
the Engineers while Alissa Gordon (Sudbury, Mass.) played well in
goal for the Blue turning back 11 shots for the win.
