Truchon '26 scored her fifth goal this season for the Continentals

NEW LONDON, Conn. – Connecticut College's Bridget McGann and Kellyn Scheel scored goals and the Camels held on for a 2-1 NESCAC win against the Hamilton College Continentals at Conn. College's Silfen Field on Saturday, Oct. 12.
 

Season Update

  • Nationally ranked No. 22 Hamilton (7-5, 3-4 NESCAC) lost to an unranked team for the first time this season.
  • The Camels (5-5, 2-4) have outscored opponents 12-2 during their current three-game win streak.
 

How It Happened

  • Conn. College grabbed a 1-0 lead with 5:16 left in the first quarter on McGann's goal after a pass from Katie Dolan.
  • Scheel provided the Camels a two-goal cushion with 5:46 remaining in the second quarter following a penalty corner. Sadie Gearan had the assist.
  • The Continentals cut their deficit in half with 9:15 to go in the third quarter. Delaney Grace '25 inserted the ball on a penalty corner to Claire Tratnyek '26 near the top of the arc. Tratnyek passed to Lydon Kelley '25 on her right and Kelley took the ball to the end line. Kelley fired a centering pass to Lilly Truchon '26 who one-timed a shot from close range into the back of the cage.
  • Hamilton pulled their goalkeeper for another field player with 2:45 left in the fourth quarter.
