Tessa Waters recorded a hat trick in the final 10 minutes of play and combined with Kelly Pushie to score back-to-back goals including one with 2:23 to play to give the Vassar its second lead of the game and top the St. Lawrence University women's lacrosse team 10-9 in Liberty League play on Saturday afternoon at North Country Field.

Senior Rachel Boghosian and first-year Campbell Armstrong led the Saints with three goals each, while Kayla Schmalz recorded two and Ashley Norris netted one. Schmalz won six draw controls and Greta Massey picked up a team-best five ground balls and caused three turnovers.

Vassar rallied to score five unanswered goals, capped off by Fiona MacLeod, with 4:16 remaining in the first half.

Ashley Norris knotted the game at five off a quick pass from Morgan Barlow at the 2:47 mark and Armstrong tallied her second of the game to give the Saints a 6-5 lead just before the break.

Just over seven minutes into the second half, Adele MacEwen tied the game up for the third time at six. Schmalz and Armstrong netted the next two for the Scarlet and Brown to build a two goal advantage over the Brewers with just shy of 22 minutes remaining.

Storm Sideleau scored for Vassar, cutting the Saints lead to one, but Schmalz capitalized on a man-up opportunity for the Saints increasing their lead back to two.

Waters netted the all three goals for the Brewers in the final ten minutes of play with the second two coming off passes from Pushie.

Vassar was led by Waters with three goals, while MacEwen and Sideleau each tallied two. MacLeod, Amelia Rivoir and Lindsay Wolk notched the other three goals for the Brewers, while Pushie recorded six assists in today's win. Waters also picked up a team-high five ground balls.
