New York, N.Y. - After dropping
the first game of the season, the Colgate women's lacrosse
team got back on track for their second contest with a 8-7
victory over Columbia.
Senior Liz
Brown (West Hartford, Conn.) and freshman Jane
Manning (Minnetonka, Minn.) led the Red Raider
offense with three goals each. Junior attacker Lauren
Moll (Berwyn, Pa.) chipped in another goal and two
helpers. Sophomore Heather Smith
(Darien, Conn.) scored her third goal of the weekend after she
had tallied two against Hofstra.
Smith's goal got the game
scoring started at 4:24 of the first on a free position shot
attempt. Just 21 seconds later, Manning made it 2-0
Colgate off a pass from Brown.
Columbia's Arianna
Faucetta scored at 5:35, but then the Red Raiders scored four
straight goals before a goal by Ellen Lowrey
for the Lions made the half-time score 6-2 in favor of the
visitors.
The
second half opened on a completely different game, as Columbia
launched a five-goal comeback within 11 minutes beginning 1:05
into the half. The Lions had the victory in their
sights, as they held the 7-6 lead for eight minutes.
However, Colgate's Brown and Manning spoiled Columbia's hopes
of a win with back-to-back goals at 20:53 and 21:39 to finish
the game.
Red
Raider junior netminder Jane Murray
(Stony Brook, N.Y.) preserved the victory with 10 saves, while
Columbia's Jessica Valadez
stopped 13 Colgate shots in the loss.
