Box Score Playing its third game in a span of 30 hours and coming off an emotional setback against its biggest rival, the Colorado College women's lacrosse team battled back from a four-goal deficit during the final 25 minutes to defeat Oberlin College, 15-13, on a bone-chilling Monday afternoon at Stewart Field.

Sophomore attacker Eva King, who tied her career high of six points with three goals and three assists, put the Tigers ahead to stay when she scored on a free-position shot with 7:06 remaining in the game.

Less than two minutes later, sophomore attacker Allie Thuet struck for the game-winning goal when she snagged the rebound of her own shot and beat Yeowomen goaltender Siena Marcelle with a shot from the edge of the crease. Thuet finished with three goals and a pair of assists for a career-high five points.

Senior midfielder Natalie Rauchle capped an impressive performance when she scored the last of her six goals with 3:50 remaining to pull Oberlin to within a goal.

The Yeowomen had a chance to tie the game almost a minute later on a free position shot off of the stick of Kyra Aviles, but freshman goaltender Alena Stern made the huge save and sophomore midfielder Robin Hilderman went almost the length of the field to add an insurance goal just 13 seconds later.

The Tiger defense sealed the victory during the final two minutes, thanks in part to turnovers caused by senior Cole Vanacore and sophomore Lauren Pejza.

Eliza Amber, a sophomore midfielder, struck for back-to-back tallies as Oberlin snapped a 4-4 tie with four consecutive goals to close out the first half. Each team scored twice during the opening 5:31 of the second half, with a goal by Rauchle giving the Yeowomen a 10-6 cushion with 24:19 to play.

King notched two goals and an assist during a 5-0 run that gave Colorado College its first lead of the second half with 19:16 remaining. She leveled the score at 10-10 on a free-position shot, then 36 seconds later junior attacker Nikki Blair struck for an unassisted marker.

Oberlin scored two of the next three goals to knot the game at 12-12 with a little more than nine minutes to play.

Senior goalkeeper Zoe Frolik stopped eight shots during the first half for the Tigers, while Stern made two saves during the final 30 minutes.

Junior midfielder Ellie Meyer led CC with eight ground balls, four draw controls and a pair of caused turnovers.

Colorado College compiled a 43-24 edge in total shots and a 29-27 edge in ground balls.

The Yeowomen won 17 of 30 draw controls.

Marcelle finished with 21 saves for Oberlin, who slipped to 2-1.
