The Tigers returned to an even .500 on the season after downing Carthage College 19-8 on Saturday at Washburn Field. The Colorado College women's lacrosse team was as efficient as ever against the Firebirds. Seven different players scored in the winning effort. 
 
Kendall Havill matched a season-high of six goals and finished the game with seven points and an assist. Tobin Lonergan dished out a season-high five goals and four assists for a career-high 10 points. The Battleboro, Vermont native scored the second most goals in her career and racked up a new career-high in assists. 
 
Sophomore Grace Bean also had a career day. The Boston native scored three goals for the first time in her CC tenure and finished the game with four points and an assist. 
 
The Tigers got off to a slow start, surrendering two Carthage goals in the opening quarter. The Firebirds held CC scoreless for the first six minutes before Havill scored her first of the day with an assist from Lonergan with 8:37 remaining. Havill knotted it up 20 seconds later, scoring right of the draw control; this time, Bridget Hanley was credited with the assist. 
 
CC scored 16 unanswered goals until Carthage finally responded in the second quarter, but not after CC had built a 16-3 lead. The Tigers took 11 shots in the first quarter, putting all but one on net and scoring on eight.  Havill, Lonergan, Caroline Shay, Bean, Devon Ortman and Sofia Mancino scored for CC in the opening quarter. 
 
Havill and Lonergan each recorded three additional goals in the second quarter, while Bean and Mancino each scored a single goal. The Tigers had a 13-goal advantage heading into the halftime break. 
 
With a running clock, the Tigers offense still managed to get off 12 more shots in the third and fourth quarter. Lonergan scored her fifth and final goal with 13:32 left in the third to make it 17-3. Junior Kelsey Shankle recorded her first goal of the season following Lonergan's with 9:10 left in the quarter. 
 
CC finished the afternoon outshooting Carthage 40-19. 33 shots of CC's were on goal. Goalkeeper Cassidy Schnaufer picked up the win to move to 2-2 on the season. 
 
The Tigers eventually rolled to the 19-8 win to secure their first set of back-to-back wins of the season. With the victory, head coach Susan Stuart now has 299 career wins as the head coach of Colorado College. Stuey and CC will have a chance to win No. 300 when the Tigers host the Stevens Institute of Technology on Tuesday, March 12.
