Traveling down Route 128 today, Gordon College Women's Lacrosse played the Wellesley College Blue where the home team defended their turf for the 13-10 win over the Fighting Scots.

Gordon's Kaitlyn Mini had a team-high six goals as well as one assist, Caroline Piorkowski added two dimes and one goal, while Jocelyn Noyes, Sophia Tomassoni, and Tillie Hutton each found the back of the net once.

Wellesley's Finley Tipton recorded eight points with five goals and three assists and Mallory Kennison chipped in two goals and one helper.

How It Happened

• After the home team rattled off seven unanswered in the opening quarter, the Fighting Scots went on a tear in the second, firing back with seven goals of their own to bring the score to 9-7 at halftime. Gordon tallied the final five goals of the second to take the momentum into the break.
• Both defenses were on display in the third, in a low offensive quarter where the Blue outscored Gordon 3-1 to hold the 12-8 edge going into the fourth.
• In the final frame, Wellesley started it off with a goal, before Mini came right back to keep it a four-score game. With just over six minutes remaining, Hutton ripped a shot in the back of the net (13-10), but Wellelsey held on in the closing minutes for the narrow win.
