MIDDLETOWN, Conn. — The Colby College women’s lacrosse team started off a busy weekend of play with a victory against an old friend in Saturday’s 7-3 win at Wesleyan University.

The Mules, who have won five straight games, moved to 6-1 overall and 4-1 in conference play. 
 
Wesleyan, which dropped to 3-5 overall and 0-4 in the league, is led by former Colby assistant coach Kim Williams.
 
Colby heads to Wellesley College for a 1 p.m. game Sunday.
 
Lexie Perticone scored two goals and dished an assist for Colby. Emilie Klein also had two goals and teammates Maddie Hatch, McGara DeWan, and Abby Hooper had one goal. Hooper and Kendall Smith both had assists.
 
The first half was tight, with the Mules taking a 3-2 lead into intermission. Perticone scored from Hooper 6:31 into the game, but Wesleyan answered when Rachel Aronow scored unassisted with 17:59 to the break. Colby received back-to-back unassisted goals from Hatch and Peticone to go up 3-1. Meredith Smith scored on a free-position shot for Wesleyan with 4:43 remaining.
 
Klein scored the key fourth goal for Colby at 6:53 of the second half to give the Mules some breathing room at 4-2. Hooper scored from Perticone with 15:10 left for a three-goal margin. Klein and DeWan scored 1:12 apart to push the lead to 7-2.
