MILTON, Mass. - The Curry College women's lacrosse team suffered its first defeat of the season on Wednesday afternoon, falling to Wellesley College by a final score of 11-5 in non-conference action at Walter M. Katz Field.

With the defeat, Curry moves to 2-1 overall on the young season. 

Wellesley came out the gate red hot, netting six unanswered goals in the opening quarter to take a 6-0 lead.

Each team scored once in the second quarter as the Colonels went to the half trailing by a score of 7-1. Freshman Ava Doyle (Lynnfield, Mass.) scored the lone goal of the period for the hosts.

After conceding the first goal of the third quarter, Curry scored four goals in a span of less than three minutes to pull to within three at 8-5. Grayson Goolgasian (Johnston, R.I.), Chloe Chevrier (West Suffield, Conn.), Casey Conneely (Arlington, Mass.), and Natalie Keenan (Haverhill, Mass.) scored the four quick strikes for the Colonels.

Curry could not close the gap any further however, as Wellesley scored the only three goals of the fourth quarter to seal the 11-5 victory.

Between the pipes, Curry sophomore Vivi Helquist (Proctor, Minn.) took the loss despite turning away seven shots. 

Next up for the Colonels, they will begin a two-game Florida swing with a contest with Marywood University in Clearwater, Fla. on Monday. The matchup is slated to begin at 11 a.m.
