BOSTON, Mass. - Curry College rallied from a 7-6 halftime deficit by scoring the first four goals of the second half and went on to defeat Emerson College 12-9 in a non-conference women's lacrosse game at Emerson's Rotch Field.

A pair of goals by Jessie Koffman '11 (Andover, Mass.) 29 seconds and five minutes into the period gave the Colonels the lead, and Ashley Hansbury '11 (Chelmsford, Mass.) padded that on an assist by Koffman with 22:22 left in the game.  A Lauren Glavin (Billerica, Mass.) goal completed the run and proved to be the winning margin.

Emerson started quickly jumping out to a 3-1 lead on goals by Laura Miley '11 (Cranston, R.I.) and two by Chelsea Phillips '14 (Waterford, Conn.). The teams then traded five goals before Emerson's Mackenzie Johnson '14 (Pasadena, Md.) gave the Lions a second two goal lead at 6-4.  Hansbury and Koffman each found net to even the game at 6-6,  but the Lions' Phillips drilled an unassisted shot with 10 seconds remining in the half to give Emerson the edge at the break.

Christina Riccitelli '12 (West Haven, Conn.) scored on a free position shot to break the Colonels' second half string, but Ana Bottary '13 (Hull, Mass.) scored her second goal of the game to move the lead to 11-8.  Johnson and Hansbury traded markers for the final scoring.

Koffman led the Colonels scoring with five goals and an assist.  Hansbury tallied three times and added a helper.  Phillips was Emerson's top scorer with three goals and an assist, and Johnson added a pair of goals.

Curry outshot Emerson 29-9 in the game with Lion goalkeeper Emily Saeger '13 (Center Valley, Pa.) making seven saves.  Emerson had 17 turnovers to only nine for Curry.

Emerson wil host Emmanuel college on Saturday at 3:00pm in a Great Northeast Athletic Conference contest.  Curry will play Endicott College in a The Commonwealth Coast Conference game at noon that same day. (Game Recap Courtesy of Emerson Sports Informtaion)
