The top-ranked Middlebury women's lacrosse team breezed past Bates 13-2 on Saturday afternoon. The Panthers increased their overall winning streak to 13-straight victories.
 
HIGHLIGHTS
  • Middlebury opened the scoring with 5:25 elapsed when Jane Earley fired a free-position shot inside the right post from the middle of the zone. 
  • The Panthers extended their lead to 2-0 just 1:10 later. Hope Shue bounced a free-position shot into the bottom-right corner.
  • At the 4:38 mark, Susan Rowley tallied her first goal of the game. The Panther attacker took a shot from distance that snuck past Bobcat goalie Cammie Lavoie and nestled into the top of the net to give Middlebury a 3-0 edge after the first quarter.
