Last night was another great night to be a Bant! The weather was mild and the intensity was high as we faced a tough Springfield College team. Ceej had one of her best performances of the year, notching an impressive 7 assists in one game - a program record! To make the evening more impressive, Ceej scored a game high four goals, tallying 11 points on the evening!! Way to go, CJ!
We got off to a great start rattling off the first six goals of the game. Kristin Phelps gave us a great boost of the bench capping off our six goal run with beautiful finish in front of the cage. Springfield came storming back, and tallied the next 4 of 5 goals, closing the gap to 3 goals. We rallied late in the first half, with Caite Irvine coming up with a couple of goals, one with 4 seconds left, which gave us some breathing room going into the half.
The second half was more of the same - we continued to find the net with some early scores from Rachel and Caite, but Springfield kept battling back, making it a very tight contest. After stretching our lead to 8 goals Springfield closed the gap for a second time, making it a 13-7 game with 16 minutes left to play.
From that point on, it was all Trinity. We had some great connections late in the game, with the highlight coming with just 5 minutes to go. Spanz had a fantastic finish right in front of the cage - off of our favorite play - to finish off Springfield for good, with a final score of 17-7.
Mish was great in net, as she saw a lot of fast break looks from a speedy and fiesty Springfield squad. Mish kept the opponents off the board early in the game, helping us to extend our lead when the game was in the balance with 10 of her 13 saves coming in the first half.
We were pleased with the total team effort and our ability to find success against a talented opponent. The win should help us gain some momentum as we begin to prepare for Middlebury on Saturday.
