Gulls Down Hawks In Conference Showdown, 21-15

BRISTOL, R.I. — The Endicott women's lacrosse team defeated Roger Williams, 21-15, in Conference of New England (CNE) action on Wednesday night at Bayside Field.

Endicott never trailed in the contest, leading by as many as eight goals twice (20-12, 21-13) before the final buzzer sounded on the matchup between the two conference-unbeaten squads (both 4-0 entering play).

Grace McAfee (Marmora, N.J.), Bailey Sheehan (Pomfret, Conn.), and Leah Black (Cheshire, Conn.) all registered a team-high five points in the victory.

McAfee and Black notched four goals and one assist each, while Sheehan potted three tallies and assisted on two others. 

Mia Smith (Portsmouth, N.H.) and Mia Samarjian (Stow, Mass.) registered hat tricks, Abbie Belleville (Salem, Conn.) netted two markers, and Ava Amara (Southbury, Conn.) and Kendal Kelsey (Queensbury, N.Y.) both found the back of the net once, respectively, to round out the scoring.

In goal, Payton Quirk (Nahant, Mass.) made six saves to improve to 9-3 on the season.
