River Hawks Taken Down by Colgate, 12-9
2/23/2019 12:46:00 PM | Women's Lacrosse
LOWELL, Mass. – After falling behind by five in the first half, the UMass Lowell women's lacrosse team (0-4) wasn't able to complete the comeback against Colgate (2-1), falling 12-9 on Saturday at Wicked Blue Field.
Â
"We're very disappointed in our effort, our execution, for sure, and our ability to stick to the game plan," said Head Coach Carissa Medeiros. "We had a really hard time remembering what we prepared for all week, and it showed, and we had to play catch-up, and certainly, we showed up for the last seven minutes of the game, but at the DI level, that's not going to win you games."
Â
The Raiders opened the game with two free position goals, but Paige MacEachern (Lynnfield, Mass.) responded, scoring at 26:14 on an unassisted goal, her 11th goal of the season and sixth unassisted goal of the year. Cameron McKelvin (Westminster, Md.) scored at 21:35 after Kendyl Finelli (Southborough, Mass.) fed MacEachern. MacEachern passed it to McKelvin, who wrapped around from behind the goal to score her eighth goal of the season.
Â
Colgate also chipped in goals, though, and doubled the lead midway through the first half. The Raiders ended the half on a four-goal run to take a 7-2 lead at halftime.
Â
Kristina Keith (East Kingston, N.H.) opened up scoring in the second half, with a give-and-go play from MacEachern. Rebecca Idson (East Atlantic Beach, New York) added a goal at 21:12 after a quick pass right in front of the net by Finelli, while McKelvin scored at 7:31 with an assist by Idson.
Â
The Raiders managed to extend their lead to 11-4 heading into the final eight minutes of the game, but the River Hawks made a run to keep the game within reach. They outscored Colgate 5-1 in the final minutes of the game, but the Raiders' cushion proved to be too much, and UMass Lowell dropped a 12-9 decision.
Â
Hana Caster (North Attleboro, Mass.) had a game-high six draw controls, while Kelly Moran (Exeter, N.H.) tallied four, tallying her 100th career draw control in the process. Caster also had three caused turnovers in the game.
Â
MacEachern ended with two goals and two assists, while McKelvin had a hat trick as the River Hawks outshot the Raiders 31-26, and 23-19 in shots on goal.
Â
The River Hawks remain home for game two of their four-game homestand, welcoming Holy Cross on Wednesday, February 27 at 6 p.m.
