SPRINGFIELD, Mass., March 30, 2005 -- Springfield College junior midfielder Rachel Lampros (Boxborough, Mass.) scored four goals, but it was #4 Amherst College defeating the Pride, 14-11, tonight at Benedum Field.

Amherst jumped out to a 2-0 lead with 25:37 remaining in the first half before Pride junior forward Holly Carmody (Wayland, Mass.) tallied two consecutive goals to even the game, 2-2, with 21:00 left in the period.

The Lord Jeffs (2-0) responded with three consecutive goals to make it a 5-2 game. The Pride (3-2) would not go away, however, scoring two-straight goals by senior forward Erin Looney (West Springfield, Mass.) and senior midfielder Spring Silverman (Huntingdon, Pa.) to make it a one-goal game with 7:47 left in the half. Amherst then went on a 4-0 run to end the half with a 9-4 lead.

Pride sophomore forward Ashley Martell (Billerica, Mass.) scored the first goal of the second half (28:35) to cut the Amherst lead to four. The Lord Jeffs then went on a 4-2 run, capped by senior forward Ashley Hameling’s fifth goal of the contest to make it a 13-7 game with 12:03 left in the contest.

Two goals by Lampros and one by Carmody made it a three-goal game, 13-10, with 5:26 remaining, but the Pride would get no closer as the teams traded goals to end the game 14-11.

Freshman goalkeeper Kristin Vaccaro (Southington, Conn.) recorded 11 saves for the Pride, while Amherst senior Liv D’Ambrosio made seven stops.
