Gulls Too Much For Scots In CCC Rival Matchup, 18-10

Box Score
Endicott College senior midfielder Holly Davis (Guilford, Conn.) recorded five goals and one assist to lead the Gulls to an 18-10 Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) win over the host Fighting Scots this afternoon at the Brigham Athletic Complex. The game marked the first league matchup for both teams, with the Scots surrendering their first loss of the season (3-1, 0-1 CCC) and the Gulls pulling to an even 3-3 (1-0 CCC) overall.

The Gulls received goals from seven different scorers in the win, as Callie Murphy (Jr./Woburn, Mass.), Lauren Todd (Sr./Newfields, N.H.), and Kelly Tierney (Sr./South Hadley, Mass.) recorded three apiece, Siri Mason (So./Williamstown, Mass.) booked two, and Isabelle Sipperly (Fr./Greenwich, N.Y.) and Katie Tierney (So./South Hadley, Mass.) chipped in one each. Tierney added two assists while Todd, Caitlin Pratt (Sr./Bow, N.H.), and Rachel Campos (Jr./Shrewsbury, Mass.) dished one each. Keeper Rachel Socolow (Jr./Westford, Mass.) needed just three saves to preserve the win for Endicott.

Leading the charge for Gordon were captains Anna Blomberg (Jr./Simsbury, Conn.) and Stephanie Fitzgerald (Jr./Groveland, Mass.), each of whom recorded four points in the outing, Blomberg off three goals and one assist and Fitzgerald off one goal and three assists. Jane Dietrich (Jr./West Hartford, Conn.) bested Socolow twice on the day, both in the second half, while captain Alana Woods (Sr./Medford, Mass.), Olivia Balloveras (So./Freeport, N.Y.), Jessie Castelline (Fr./Concord, Mass.), and Bailey Grinnell (Fr./South Hamilton, Mass.) each netted one. Keepers Danielle Maguire (Jr./Braintree, Mass.) and Julianne Kirkpatrick (So./Rochester, N.Y.) split time in the net, combining for five saves in the loss.

Endicott won the battle on the draw by a 19-11 margin, 10 of which were grabbed by Campos.

The Gulls wasted little time getting on the board as Todd netted her first of the day off a Pratt feed at the 29:33 mark. That lead stretch to 3-0 over the next seven minutes off a man-up unassisted tally from Murphy and another solo effort from Tierney at 25:17 and 22:30, respectively. Blomberg put a stop to that run at 22:05 to notch the Scots' first of the day, collecting a feed from behind the cage from Fitzgerald and besting Socolow to the upper corner to make it 3-1. Endicott's Mason built that lead back to three on an unassisted crease roll, but Gordon's Grinnell and Woods responded with back-to-back goals to pull the Scots to within one (4-3) at 15:55.

The Gulls, however, went on a 9-1 run over the remaining minutes of the first and opening minutes of the second to establish a healthy 13-4 advantage over their hosts at 22:56. And though the Scots would rally late to outscore Endicott 5-2 in the final 12 minutes, time ran out on the comeback effort, leaving them on the short end of the 18-10 final.

The Scots will look to get back on track on Monday, March 25 as they host non-conference New England College at 5 p.m. Endicott returns to CCC action on Wednesday, March 27 for a 4 p.m. start at Curry.
