Trinity came out flying against NESCAC opponent Bowdoin College, jumping out to an 8-3 lead at the half. Megan got things started for the Bantams just one minute into the contest with a beautiful goal assisted by Rachel. Bowdoin responded with a goal of their own, but the Bantam defense would shut down Bowdoin for the next twenty minutes. The attack took charge, rolling off seven straight to take an 8-1 lead. With Bowdoin playing a backer defense, the Bantams looked to their teammates, with 7 of the 8 goals being assisted efforts. Rachel was awesome on attack, leading the team with three goals and three assists. Megan was also unstoppable, adding two goals and three assists. Alisen, Kaitlin, and Hadley rounded out the scoring for the Bantams while Bruno chipped in an assist. We capitalized on some great cuts, finding the open player inside the 8 meter and giving sharp, crisp feeds. It was so fun to watch all the assisted goals, the attack was truly working as one unit.
The second half was a different story, as Bowdoin stepped up the pressure in the midfield. Though we had beautiful transitions in the first half, Bowdoin adjusted in the second half and trapped us in the defensive third. They slowly chipped away at our lead, but Liv held strong in net. She finished with seven saves and came up with some crucial stops in the second half. It was an exciting finish, as Bowdoin managed to break our stall and was awarded a free position with just seven seconds remaining on the clock. Our defense jumped off the line and came up with an impressive block as time ran off the clock to secure an 8-7 win. While the first half was a great effort, we will look to put together a full 60 minutes of good lacrosse in the future.
Senior Captain Rachel Romanowsky led the Bantams with 3 goals and 3 assists. She was honored as Bantam of the Week for her efforts! Congrats Rachel!
