Betch Scores Five as Seahawks Women’s Lacrosse Rally Falls Short at Mary Washington

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. – Playing in their first game since a 17-14 win at Colorado College on March 15, the St. Mary's College of Maryland women's lacrosse team got back on the field Wednesday afternoon (March 29) and attempted a fourth-quarter comeback but fell just short.
 
Sophomore attacker Hailey Betch (Severna Park, Md./Severna Park) found the back of the net five times, but St. Mary's College (4-5) dropped a 17-12 decision at University of Mary Washington (7-5).
 
How It Happened
  • The Seahawks entered the fourth quarter down 15-5 before senior attackers Erin Carmody (Olney, Md./Sherwood) and Lily Davison (Phoenix, Md./Dulaney) and Betch each scored in a three-minute span to close the gap to seven with 10:06 remaining in the game.
  • Molly Daw interrupted St. Mary's flow with a player-down goal at 8:18 before Betch responded with a pair of unassisted goals to make it a 16-10 game with 6:38 to go.

  • Carmody broke through again for the Seahawks at 1:08 with a player-up free-position goal.
  • Sophomore midfielder Colin Horton (University Park, Md./Elizabeth Seton) tallied St. Mary's final goal with 20 ticks on the clock off a feed by junior captain MC Mortimer (Baltimore, Md./Friends).
