.NEW LONDON, N.H. – The Colby-Sawyer women's lacrosse team gathered its fifth Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) win for the season on Tuesday beating Rivier by a score of 13-4.
 
Rapid Recap:
  • The Chargers started the game with a dominant offensive presence. First year Rose Finlayson (Hopkinton, N.H.) kicked off the quarter with a quick goal, followed by a free position goal right after from graduate student Sydney Stevens (Laconia, N.H.). After a good defensive stance Colby-Sawyer extended its lead as junior Heather Hanson (Barnstable, Mass.) and senior Olivia Romo (Marlboro, Vt.) found the back of the net to boost the Charger lead 4-1 headed into the second.
  • Offensive production picked up where it left off with sophomore Cecilia Ponzini (Windham, N.H.) netting back-to-back goals to kick off the quarter. The Chargers offense stayed hot as Romo put up three more points to cap off the first half with Colby-Sawyer in front 8-2.
  • Graduate student Hannah Marquis (Weare, N.H.) continued the success offensively for Colby-Sawyer in the third quarter with an extra effort goal to push the lead to seven. First year Emily Weagle (Clinton, Mass.) held the defense together with a caused turnover leading to another Hanson goal to close out the quarter.
  • Colby-Sawyer kept their foot on the gas pedal to start the last quarter of play as junior captain Soph Kuhlthau (Cheshire, Conn.) notched a pair of goals in under a minute to extend the lead 12-3. Junior keeper AJ Paton (Exeter, N.H.) was a force in net and didn't let the Raiders pile on to the total with a miraculous diving save to close out the game for the Chargers.
Post Game Press:
