Box Score In nearly every phase of the game, Colorado College could not have played any better. The Tigers recorded a significant advantage in total shots, ground balls, draw controls and turnovers.

The problem was CC scored on a fraction more than 13 percent of its shots, which allowed Susquehanna University to escape Washburn Field with a 6-5 victory on a brisk Monday afternoon.

"We played clean and were good in nearly aspect of the game," head coach Susan Stuart said. "We got beat in one statistic and it cost us the game."

Junior goaltender Carolyn Figliola steered aside 22 shots and almost single-handedly led SU to its first win of the season.

Just after sophomore midfielder Kelcie Ehler struck for the third time to give the Crusaders a 4-1 lead just 2:24 into the second half, Colorado College used a pair of goals by sophomore midfielder Sadie Cole in a span of 15 seconds to get the Tigers right back in the game.

CC appeared to tie the game with 23:58 to play when freshman attacker Annie DeFrino picked up a loose ball in a crowd and put a shot past Figliola. Instead, the goal was waved off and DeFrino was given a yellow card for a dangerous follow through.

Four minutes later, Emma Jones gave Susquehanna a 5-3 lead and then Ehler added what proved to be the game-winning goal with 17 minutes to play.

Freshman Steph Kelly struck for the first of her two goals 1:22 later to pull the Tigers to within two, and then the Crusaders caught a break when sophomore midfielder Mary Taussig had another goal disallowed due to a penalty on Susquehanna just as she launched her shot.

The same circumstance cost Cole a tally in the first half, and then Figliola stopped her free position attempt seconds later.

With 7:52 remaining in the second half, Cole's free-position shot got through Figliola, but she reached back to cover the ball just before it crossed line.

Kelly pulled Colorado College to within a goal with 3:51 to play when she scooped up a loose ball near midfield and scored after a long run toward the left post, but Figliola got just enough of Taussig's shot with 1:36 remaining to keep the ball from rolling into the cage.

CC recorded a 33-24 advantage in total shots, a 28-19 margin in ground balls and pressured Susquehanna into 27 turnovers, compared to 15 for the Tigers.

Junior goaltender Martha Smith stopped eight of the 14 shots she faced. Cole led Colorado College with five ground balls and three draw controls.

CC (1-2) returns to action on Friday afternoon against Augustana College.
