AMHERST, Mass. —No. 16 Massachusetts proved too much in Davidson's final regular season game on the road, as it won for the 12th straight time in picking up a 12-5 decision Saturday afternoon in women's lacrosse at Garber Field to finish perfect in Atlantic 10 play.
Davidson will advance to next week's A-10 Championship, earning the No. 5 seed with a 5-4 league mark and will enter with an 8-8 overall record. The Minutewomen grabbed the top seed by going undefeated at 9-0 and improved to 16-1 on the season.
Annie Brockett had her seventh multi-goal game of the season, pacing the Wildcats with two goals to give her a personal-best tying 22 on the year.
Lucy Sexton, Jean Atkinson and Christine Molinari each added a goal apiece, while Sexton and Emma Sissman dished out one assist each. Sexton has a career-high 32 points on the season (20 goals, career-high 12 assists).
UMass had three multi-goal scorers on the afternoon, with Holly Turner, Eileen McDonald and Hannah Murphy netting two goals each. Turner added two assists, while Erika Eipp dished out a game-high three.
The Wildcats opened the game with a Sexton goal off Sissman's career-best seventh assist at the 25:49 mark. The point for Sissman moved her into eighth place all-time in the Wildcat record books with 153.
The defense kept UMass scoreless for nearly 10 minutes of the opening half, but the 16th ranked team in the country broke through at the 20:50 mark to tie things up.
From there, UMass rattled off four more goals to take a 5-1 lead before Molinari scored her 13th goal on a free-position attempt to make it 5-2 at the half.
Three straight UMass goals in the first five minutes of the next half make it 8-2, but Davidson behind Brockett made one last charge over a seven-minute stretch.
The junior attacker went for back-to-back scores to bring the 'Cats within 8-4 at the 22:46 mark. Then just over five minutes later, Atkinson found the back of the net for her 10th score of the season and it was 8-5.
The score would remain that until the Minutewomen went on one last run to seal up the win, scoring the final four goals in the last 14:28 of the game.
UMass held advantages in shots (38-19), groundballs (25-14) and draw controls (13-6).
Between the pipes, goalie Rose Woolson matched her personal best with 14 saves (9 in the second half) and picked up four groundballs. Defender Mackenzie Sivilli had three groundballs to go along with one of Davidson's three caused turnovers.
