WALTHAM
,
Mass.
--- Junior Kate Hallisey (W. Roxbury,
Mass.) scored five goals and senior Amanda Lohin
(Wellesley, Mass.) tallied four to lead the Saint
Michael's College women's lacrosse team to a 11-5 win
over
Bentley
College
on Sunday.
The win is the second
straight NE-10 victory for the Purple Knights who are
2-2 overall after a non-conference loss to St. Lawrence
a few days earlier. Bentley
falls to 3-1 overall and 2-1 in the NE-10.
Neither team could get
their offenses clicking in the first half with both
goalies playing well. Bentley’s Monica Rose
(Westfield, Mass.) made nine saves in the first
half, and Saint Michael’s Jess Anderson (
Springfield
,
Vt.
) made five in the first for the visitors.
The Purple Knights had
the scoring edge in the first half 2-1, with goals from
Lohin and Hallisey. Lohin finished the game with four
scores. Freshman Ashley Coombes (
Simsbury
,
Conn.
) had the lone goal for the Falcons.
In the second half, the
Purple Knights offense took control of the game with a
6-0 spurt to start the final stanza. Hallisey led the
second half charge with four goals in the second half.
Lohin had three of her four goals in the second.
Bentley attempted to
climb back into the contest late in the half as
sophomore Shandra Bacher (
Concord
, N.H.) netted three goals, but SMC freshmen Amaris
Pawlowski (Morris, Conn.) and Kristen Palazzo
(Armonk, N.Y.) each scored to seal the win for the
Purple Knights.
Saint Michael’s
is scheduled to host Saint Anselm on Tuesday, April
8.
