THE BASICS
Lesley 2, Rhode Island College 1
Lesley (11-5)
Rhode Island College (7-6-2)
HOW IT HAPPENED
• The first half was relatively low octane, with just a handful of shots being taken by either team. Dugan smacked a high velocity shot in the fourth minute which was saved.
• The scoring kicked off in the 52nd minute, when Forte took a shot from just outside the 18-yard box and found its way into the lower right portion of the net to give the Anchorwomen a 1-0 lead. The assists went to junior forward Tayla Salome (Lincoln, R.I.) and Olivia Williams (Riverside, R.I.).
• In the 78th minute, Lesley began to take control of the pace of play and tied the game with a goal by sophomore midfielder Zoe Curtaz (Novato, Calif.).
• Just four minutes later, Lynx junior forward Hailey Von Ahn (Saratoga Springs, N.Y.) scored a goal of her own to put the visitors in the driver's seat for good.
INSIDE THE NUMBERS
Lesley junior goalkeeper Lauren Lacy (Colorado Springs, Colo.) made four saves in the winning effort (5-4).
