#1 Women’s Lacrosse Eases Past #12 Colby 17-5

The top-ranked Middlebury women's lacrosse team eased past 12th-ranked Colby 17-5 on Saturday afternoon. The Panthers defense was sensational in the victory, not allowing a goal for over 30 minutes of action throughout the second and third quarters.
 
HIGHLIGHTS
  • Middlebury got on the scoreboard after 2:46 of action. Maggie Coughlin made a move behind the net before finding Hope Shue on the doorstep, who slipped her shot past Mules' goalie Sarah Hearns for the 1-0 edge.
  • Jane Earley doubled the Panther advantage at the 10:35 mark. Kelcey Dion and Shue each tallied a goal over the next 1:30 to increase the lead to 4-0.
  • Anna Spehr made it 5-0 with 5:50 remaining in the first quarter. The attacker wrapped around the goal before firing a close-range shot past Hearns.
  • Colby cut the deficit to three (5-2) with a pair of tallies to close out the first quarter.
  • Shue completed her hat trick with 1:11 elapsed in the second stanza with a free-position goal, giving Middlebury a 6-2 edge.
  • The Panthers added to their lead at the 8:13 mark. Earley found a cutting Caroline Messer, who fired a turn-around shot into the top left corner to extend the Middlebury advantage to 7-2.
  • The Panthers closed the half with four unanswered goals to take a nine goal advantage (11-2) heading into the locker room. Sara Ellinghaus and Caroline Adams each tallied a marker, before Shue and Earley ended the stanza with goals under the two-minute mark.
  • Middlebury picked up where it left off in the third quarter. Shue scored all three goals during the stanza, while the Panther defense held strong, not allowing a single goal to extend the lead to 14-2.
  • With 49 seconds elapsed in the fourth quarter, Dion made a move on her defender before firing home Middlebury's 15th goal while on the player advantage. 
  • Cami McDonald ended the Colby scoring drought at the 12:34 mark in the fourth quarter to cut the deficit to 15-3, but the Panthers responded with markers from Adams and Messer to push the lead back to 17-3 with 7:44 to go.
  • Annie Eddy closed the game with two unanswered goals for the Mules, but it was not enough as Middlebury cruised to a 17-5 triumph. 
NOTES
  • With the victory, the Panthers have won 28-straight games on the road, and increased their overall winning streak to 18-straight wins dating back to the 2022 season.
  • Shue's seven goals in today's victory ties her career-high which she set against Hamilton last season.
  • With four points today, Earley has amassed 240 career points, moving her into fourth place in the Middlebury record books.
The Panthers will return home next weekend to take on Amherst on Saturday, April 22 at 2:00 p.m. at Peter Kohn Field.
