Silveria joins Estes in 100-point club during road contest at Babson

April 11, 2015

Box Score BABSON PARK, Mass. – Junior Rachel Silveria (Dunstable, Mass./Groton-Dunstable) scored a pair of goals to become the 11th member of Smith's 100-point club, while fellow 100-point club member Jenny Estes (Falmouth, Mass./Falmouth) added two points on a goal and an assist, but stingy defense coupled with solid ball control powered Babson College to a 20-3 victory over the Pioneers in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) lacrosse game Saturday.

Silveria connected on a feed from Estes in the 11th minute for her 100th career point. Estes, first-year Caroline Myran (Philadelphia, Pa./Germantown Friends School), Silveria and first-year Julia Hamilton (Williamstown, Mass./Deerfield Academy) each registered a draw control, while Silveria scooped a team-high three ground balls.

Junior Amanda Rabe (Akron, Ohio/Western Reserve Academy) and sophomore Quinn Lavigne (Portland, Maine/Portland) each scooped two ground balls, while Lavigne and Myran each tallied a caused turnover.

First-year Sarah Price (Hudson, Ohio/Hudson) made a career-best 17 saves in the cage for Smith. Her 152 saves on the season are the most in the NEWMAC.

Babson opened the contest with the game's first goal, but Smith countered to tie the game at the 18:29 mark. After three-straight goals by the Beavers, Silveria's unassisted marker kept the Pioneers within striking distance at 4-2 with 7:32 left to play in the first half.

The Beavers answered with a 6-0 run, before Estes' 15th goal of the season got the Pioneers to within seven (10-3). That was as close as they could get, as Babson scored ten unanswered to pick up their fourth win of the season.

Next up for Smith (3-10, 0-5 NEWMAC) will be a home game against Springfield College on Wednesday, April 15 at 7 p.m.
