Englewood, Fla. - The Farmingdale State women's lacrosse team played their final game at the Spring Fling down in Florida last night and fell to Williams College, 19-5. The Rams dropped to 0-5 on the season, while the Ephs improved to an even 3-3.
Williams started quickly as they tallied seven unanswered goals, including five free-position scores, over the first twelve minutes of the contest.
Trailing 9-0 with 5:16 remaining in the half, Rams freshman attack Julia Tuohy (Port Jefferson Station, N.Y.) set up junior attack Nicola Ingrassia (Deer Park, N.Y.) for a goal to cut the deficit to eight. After a goal by Ephs senior midfielder Caroline Hogan (Buffalo, N.Y.), FSC tallied back-to-back scores by midfielders Samantha Morra (Levittown, N.Y.) and Danielle Hall (Levittown, N.Y.) to close within seven, 10-3.
Leading 12-3 at the start of the second half, Williams would record six straight goals to take a commanding 18-3 lead with 19:36 remaining. Farmingdale State would only tally two goals the rest of the way as the Ephs earned the non-conference victory, 19-5.
