No. 11 Wheaton Shuts Down Women's Lacrosse, 11-4

NORTON, Mass.- Springfield College senior forward Erin Looney (West Springfield, Mass.) registered a goal and an assist, but it was No. 11 Wheaton College defeating the Pride, 11-4, in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) women's lacrosse action this afternoon at Keefe Fied.

Springfield senior Spring Silverman (Huntington, PA/Acad. New Church) put the Pride up, 1-0 three minutes into the game, but six unasnswered goals made the score, 6-1, at halftime.

Wheaton opened the second half with three more goals to take a 9-1 lead, before three-straight Pride goals made it a 9-4 game. The Lyons would add two more tallies for their 13th-straight conference victory.

Springfield freshman goalie Kristin Vaccaro (Southington, Conn.) was credited with 11 stops for the Pride, which returns to action on Tuesday (April 12) at Smith in a 4:00 p.m. game in Northampton.
