CLINTON, N.Y. – Hamilton College's Thomas Healy '26 tied a career high with five goals and added three assists for a career-best eight points in the Continentals' 10-4 NESCAC win over the Middlebury College Panthers at Hamilton's breezy and rain-soaked Withiam Field on Tuesday, April 2.

Season Update

The Continentals (6-3, 3-3 NESCAC), who are receiving votes in the U.S. Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association Division III Top 20 coaches poll, won for the fourth time in their last five games. Hamilton has two victories against ranked teams.
Nationally ranked No. 18 Middlebury (5-5, 4-2) came into the day with a three-game win streak.

How It Happened

After falling behind 2-1 just 15 seconds into the second quarter, the Continentals ran off eight straight goals for a commanding 9-2 advantage with 5:31 left in the third.
Healy either scored or had the assist on every goal during the eight-goal run.
Hamilton held the Panthers without a goal for more than 26 minutes, and Middlebury scored twice in the last 44.
Healy tied the score with 9:31 remaining in the second quarter. The Panthers called a timeout with 9:41 to go and Healy took possession coming out of the stoppage. He drove around the left side of the goal, turned and charged towards the crease, and found the back of the net from point-blank range.
Frank Coyle '26 put the Continentals in the lead for good exactly two minutes later. Christian Byrne '24 passed to Healy and he moved behind the goal. Coyle cut towards the goal, caught a pass from Healy and put a shot past the goalie all in one motion.
Hamilton led 5-2 at the half and 9-3 after three quarters.
