BOSTON, MA - After celebrating senior day, marking her last home women's lacrosse game, senior midfielder Logan Carr (Saratoga Springs, NY) led the Saints to a 17-10 victory over Daniel Webster College in a non-conference match-up played at Roberto Clemente Field. Carr was perfect on the day, netting a game-high 6 goals off of 6 shots, while dishing out one assist. The win boosts the Saints to 5-8 on the season, while the Eagles drop to 3-7 with the loss.

Carr netted two and Altwies and Leahy each scored once during the run, as the hosts took a 12-3 into the break at halftime.

Out of the break, the Eagles scored on an unassisted shot from Charlene Gordon (Brooklyn, N.Y.), but the Saints quickly answered with a free position score by Carr and Emmanuel led, 13-4. Bates and Konecnik traded goals at opposite ends to set the score at 14-5 with fifteen minutes remaining.
