Seniors
Eva King,
Lauren Pejza and
Allie Thuet made the most of what in all likelihood was their final appearance at Washburn Field by leading the Colorado College women's lacrosse team to a 13-1 victory over Plymouth State University on Saturday.
King and Thuet combined for six goals and four assists to fuel CC's attack, while Pejza produced game highs of five draw controls and five ground balls, and forced a season-high three caused turnovers.
Victoria Hernandez gave the Panthers a glimmer of hope when she struck for the game's first goal 1:33 into the contest, but that proved to be the only shot which would elude the goaltending tandem of
Alena Stern and
Natalie Slade, each of whom played 30 minutes for the Tigers.
Freshman midfielder
Bella Scola leveled the score 6:06 into the game with her first career goal, then King notched what proved to be the game winner a little more than a minute later.
Eighteen seconds later, King find the net again, and Scola completed her first multiple-goal game just 1:52 after that to give CC a 4-1 lead less than 10 minutes into the contest.

PSU had a pair of chances to close the gap after the Tigers took a pair of yellow cards during the final 10 minutes of the first half, but instead CC extended its lead to 7-1 after
Chloe Brennan and King scored while Colorado College was down a player.
Thuet became the 17th Tiger to score 100 goals when she converted on a free-position shot midway through the second half, which was her second tally in a little less than three minutes.
She completed her five-point game with 138 points and 38 assists, which rank 14th and 21st, respectively, on the school's career lists.
