NCAA Division III Women’s Quarterfinal Matchups Set

The No. 2 team in the USA Lacrosse Division II Women’s Top 20 has fallen in the Round of 16.

Cami McDonald scored the go-ahead goal with 4:26 remaining, then Kins Helmer added a bit of insurance with 3:38 left for Colby in its 7-5 win over Wesleyan. Sarah Hearns made two saves after Wesleyan netted its last goal with 7:44 left in the game — including a stop with 1:39 left on the clock.

Wesleyan outshot Colby 29-22, but Hearns’ 15 saves were the highlight.

Now Colby is on to the NCAA quarterfinals on Sunday against William Smith.
