BIDDEFORD, Maine -- Korinne Bohunsky
(FY/Eliot, Maine) tallied four goals as the University of New England
defeated Gordon College, 9-7, in a Commonwealth Coast Conference women's
lacrosse match played Wednesday night (April 6) at the Big Blue Turf.
UNE (6-4, 2-1 CCC) won for the fourth time in five starts, while the
Fighting Scots (3-6, 2-1) saw their three-game winning streak come to an
end.
Bohunsky had a monster game for the winners, adding five ground balls,
five draw controls and a
pair of caused turnovers to her team-high total
of four goals.
Jocelyn Davee (JR/Freeport, Maine) and Katie Cawley (SR/Cumberland, Maine) each contributed a pair of goals for UNE, while Nicole Carvalho (FY/South Kingstown, R.I.) rounded out the Nor'easters' scoring. Kimberly Gosselin (JR/Concord, N.H.) led all players with two assists.
Gordon's Jessica Castelline (SR/Concord, Mass.) scored four times to
match Bohunsky with game-high honors in that category. Olivia McCarrick
(FY/Millersville, Md.) notched a pair of markers and Bailey Grinnell
(SR/South Hamilton, Mass.) added one.
The Nor'easters jumped out to an early 4-0 lead before Gordon chipped
away and drew within one (4-3) prior to halftime. Castelline had all
three goals to halt UNE's momentum.
Bohunsky and Davee sandwiched goals around a tally by McCarrick to give
the Nor'easters a 6-4 advantage early in the second half. Gordon would
draw even (6-6) with 12:32 remaning after back-to-back goals by Grinnell
and Castelline, but UNE grabbed the lead for good when Bohunsky notched
an unassisted goal 2:07 later.
Cawley and Davee added insurance goals to build the Nor'easters' lead to
three (9-6) before McCarrick completed the scoring with 1:38 remaining.
Goalkeeper Courtney Kendall
(SR/Waltham, Mass.) had six saves for UNE, including a pair of crucial
stops in the final 1:10 to help seal the victory. Her counterpart,
Jackie Kiernan (JR/Lexington, Mass.) finished with five saves for
Gordon.
In addition to her four goals, Castelline contributed five ground balls and three draw controls in a losing effort.
UNE will play another CCC game Saturday, heading to Rhode Island to face
Salve Regina University at noon. Gordon hosts Eastern Connecticut State
University that same day (12 p.m.).
