SOUTH HADLEY, Mass. — 

Saturday afternoon, the Coast Guard women's lacrosse team continued their winning ways as they won their third straight game as they beat Mount Holyoke College on the road with a final score of 14-6.

The Bears came out of the gate first as senior Hannah Warnke (Lincoln, Neb.) scored an unassisted goal 3 minutes and 18 seconds into the contest. Warnke had a perfect shooting day as she scored 4 goals on 4 shots. 4 minutes later, the Lyons got on the board with a goal from Emi Bisson to tie the game at 1-1 with 7:42 remaining in the first quarter. Coast Guard regained their lead with 3:33 left in the quarter, but another goal from Bisson would tie the game at 2-2 at the end of the first.

Just under 5 minutes into the second quarter, Coast Guard took advantage of their first man-up opportunity of the afternoon as freshman Joely Schaumloffel (Remsenburg, N.Y.) found the back of the net.

The remainder of the second quarter the Bears found their offense as they went on to out score the Lyons 5-1 after Schaumloffel's goal. Coast Guard led 8-3 at halftime.

At the start of the second half, both offenses calmed down.
