Women's lacrosse cruises to eight-goal win over Connecticut College

Schwarz '27 made nine saves and allowed just four goals for the Continentals

PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. – Hamilton College broke open a close game in the second quarter with five straight goals and the Continentals coasted in the second half to a 12-4 NESCAC win against the Connecticut College Camels at Publix Park on Sunday, March 15.
 

Season Update

  • Hamilton (2-3, 2-1 NESCAC) won its second straight conference game.
  • Conn. College (2-2, 0-2) has been outscored 27-5 in its last two contests – both against NESCAC opponents.
 

How It Happened

  • The Continentals' lead was cut to 3-2 after Campbell Johnston scored on a free-position shot 33 seconds into the second quarter.
  • The rest of the quarter was mostly Hamilton as the Continentals ran off the next five goals. Hamilton's Natalie Mascitti '29 won the ensuing draw control and Grace MacLean '29 scored for a 4-2 advantage 34 seconds after Johnston's goal.
  • Maddigan Leifer '26 made it 5-2 with 8:34 left after Eliza Schwarz '27 stopped a free-position shot at the other end. Kristin Vosswinkel '27 won the next draw and MacLean eventually scored on a feed from Julia Lee '27 with 7:27 remaining.
  • MacLean found Sophia Wright '28 for the Continentals' seventh goal with 5:38 to go after Leifer caused a turnover and picked up the ground ball. The Camels called a timeout to try and stop Hamilton's momentum but Vosswinkel captured the draw anyway, and Lee's shot found the back of the net 45 seconds later.
  • Player-up goals late in the second quarter and early in the third by Conn. College's Caroline Villarin pulled the Camels within four at 8-4. The Continentals held Conn. College scoreless for the final 24 minutes.
  • Hamilton scored twice in the third quarter and two more times in the fourth. Vosswinkel potted two of the goals and Lauren Garringer '29 tallied the other two.
