Box Score NORTHAMPTON, Mass. - The Smith College lacrosse team dropped their final game of the season, 12-10, to cross-town rival Mount Holyoke College in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) action Wednesday evening.

First-year Chloe Harris (Alexandria, Va./West Potomac) and sophomore Julia Hamilton (Williamstown, Mass./Deerfield Academy) led the Pioneers with three goals apiece, while senior Ray Silveria (Dunstable, Mass./Groton-Dunstable) added two goals and one assist in her final game. Silveria finishes her career with 164 points on 123 goals and 41 assists. Goalkeeper Sarah Price (Hudson, Ohio/Hudson) made seven saves in the loss. 

For the Lyons, Julia Bell netted a game-high five goals and continues to lead the conference with 49 tallies. Leila Kouakou and Catherine Ryan each registered five points, while netminder Isa Rodriguez stopped seven shots.

The Lyons jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the game's first 3:02 on goals by Ryan, Wagner and Bell.

The Pioneers responded with two goals as Caroline Myran (Philadelphia, Pa./Germantown Friends School) took a feed from Silveria and Hamilton also connected on a pass from Silveria to cut the lead to 3-2 with 24:31 on the clock. 

Another three goal run by the visitors put them ahead 6-2 before both teams exchanged goals to make it 7-3 with 18:03 remaining in the second half. 

Hamilton went on to score two in a row for the Pioneers before the Lyons answered, yet again, with three straight before Smith closed the half on tallies by Myran and Hamilton for a 10-7 MHC lead at the half. 

Two goals by the Pioneers saw the home team cut the deficit to one (10-9) just 2:20 into the second period but Mount Holyoke would score the game's only goals over the next 15 minutes for a slim 12-9 lead. Chloe Harris (Alexandria, Va./West Potomac) made things interesting as she found the back of the net with 1:51 to go but the Lyon's goalkeeper came up with a big save to halt any chances of a miracle comeback.

Smith ends their season with an overall record of 5-11 and 1-7 mark in conference play, while Mount Holyoke finishes 3-11 and 2-6 in the NEWMAC.
