Mary
Lancaster '12 (Monkton, Md.
/Mercersburg Academy ) scored two
goals and assisted on another as
Hamilton College set a team record for
wins in one season with a 7-1 rout of
visiting Morrisville State College in a
non-league game played at Campus Road
Athletic Field on Oct. 31.
Hamilton (11-3 overall) extended its win
streak to five games. The Continentals'
previous record for wins in a season was
10, which was set in 1990 and matched in
1991. Morrisville State (5-14) finished
the season with a seven-game losing
skid.
Hamilton will host a Liberty League
tournament semifinal game as the second
seed against No. 3 seed St. Lawrence
University on Wednesday, Nov. 4. The
start time has yet to be determined. The
Continentals rallied to defeat St.
Lawrence 4-2 at home on Oct. 3.
Lancaster opened the scoring with 22:56
left in the first half off an assist
from Amy Allen '10 (Bright's
Grove, Ontario /The Loomis Chaffee
School). In the 24th
minute, Colleen Callaghan
(Queensbury, N.Y. /Glens Falls High
School ) scored her first goal of
the afternoon on a rapid exchange of
passes between her and Lancaster in the
circle. Lancaster got involved again in
the 28th minute with her
seventh tally this season.
With just 1:27 left in the first half,
Catie Torcivia '12
(Rumson, N.J. /Rumson-Fair Haven Reg
High School)scored her fifth goal of
the year and her third in the last two
games off the bench. Erin
McNally '12 (Scotia,
N.Y. /Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake High
School) was credited with the assist
as Hamilton took a 4-0 lead into the
break.
Callaghan scored her second goal
of the game on a nice individual effort
110 seconds into the second half. She
stick-handled through several defenders,
into the circle and slapped a shot into
the back of the cage. Callaghan leads
the team with 11 goals and 27 points.
She tied Jess Goldberg '08 for second
place on the team's all-time list with
25 goals.
Morrisville State got on the scoreboard
in the 54th minute to pull
within 5-1. Just 1:30 later, Allen took
advantage of a penalty corner to score
her sixth goal of the season. McNally
entered the ball to Allen, who stopped
it and fired a hard shot past the
helpless goalie. Allen has scored 17
goals in her collegiate career. McNally
was credited with her second assist of
the day. She leads the team with six
assists and has 14 at Hamilton. McNally
finished up the scoring with 2:18 left
in the second half when her shot found
the back of the cage.
The Continentals enjoyed a 23-7 shot
advantage, and were awarded 18 penalty
corners to 11 for Morrisville. Hamilton
has won all three games in this series,
which started in 2007. All three wins
have been by six goals. Courtney
DeMaria '10 (Littleton,
Mass. /Groton School) needed to make
just one save to pick up the victory as
her goals against average dropped to
1.56.
