LAST TIME OUT
Montclair fell in its final regular season game at home against Connecticut College, 15-12, on Wednesday. The Red Hawks forced a shot clock violation on the first Camels possession. CARA MCCARTNEY had a good shot opportunity, but had it saved. Both teams traded possessions until KYRA MORENA connected with KAELEY SEK for the game's first goal at the 7:53 timestamp. Montclair regained possession, but relinquished the ball, and the turnover turned into a Connecticut goal. Kaydrianna Toledo retook the lead for Montclair on a free-position goal with 5:34 remaining in the opening stanza, but the Camels battled back with four unanswered goals before the first quarter horn and took a 5-2 lead into the second period. Montclair rattled off three shots in the first two minutes of the second, but all missed the mark. JOEY GROTKOPF made an excellent save at the 12:32 timestamp, but Connecticut scored two quick goals after and pushed its lead to 7-2. AMRA LUKOVIC took advantage of another free position attempt for Montclair, and that sparked a Red Hawk rally. Toledo scored her second free-position goal shortly after at 8:50, and Lukovic rocketed in another one off an assist from CARA MCCARTNEY during a man-up situation to cut the lead to 7-5. The Camels tried to gain some ground again, but Grotkopf made three saves between 6:19 and 4:53. LUCIANA FERRARA eventually caused a turnover that set up another goal from Sek, this time assisted by LEXI ROBINSON, and the half ended with Connecticut holding a one-goal lead of 7-6. A Red Hawk green card on the opening draw set up a Connecticut goal just under two minutes into the second half. Robinson kept the game close at the 10:37 mark, spinning around a defender to score. Another Camel goal was answered by one from Montclair, with Lukovic nabbing her third goal of the game with 8:00 remaining. Connecticut scored two more goals down the stretch to take an 11-8 lead entering the final quarter. CARA MCCARTNEY put two shots on goal in the early minutes of the final period, but was stonewalled by the Camel goalkeeper. A goal at 13:35 put Connecticut up 12-8, and they extended the lead with a man-up goal just about two minutes later. Robinson and Sek each took advantage of a non-releasable yellow card to score and cut the lead to 13-10 with 8:57 remaining. Connecticut answered again with two more goals, and while Morena scored two more down the stretch, the lead was too much to overcome, and Montclair fell, 15-12.
