Framingham, Mass. (10/29/14) – The Lasell College field hockey team fell victim to three second half goals including a pair from junior Cady Kelly (Canton, Mass.) to erase a 2-0 deficit and suffer a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Framingham State University. Framingham State improves to 7-10 on the season, while the Lasers slip to 6-11.
Junior Ashley Gleason (Suffield, Mass.) had a hand in both first half goals by the Lasers as they took a 2-0 lead at the break. Gleason assisted on the Lasers first goal as she set up teammate Francesca Ceppetelli (Enfield, Conn.) with a long pass in the circle. Ceppetelli made a move past a defender and slipped a shot inside the far post with 20 minutes remaining in the frame. Gleason tallied the Lasers second goal with just over five minutes remaining in the opening half when she converted off a feed from senior Kristine Jackson (Medway, Mass.).
The Rams countered with a pair of quick strikes from Kelly to tie the game less than 10 minutes into the second. Kelly struck first with 28:35 remaining in the half off an assist from senior Rhea Urbaniak (Chelmsford, Mass.), who had carried the ball in the circle and laid a pass off to Kelly on the wing. Sophomore Lynne Sirchia (Goshen, Conn.) set up Kelly's second marker at 27:22.
