BIDDEFORD, Maine -- Senior Holly Davis found the back of the cage eight times to pace Endicott College in a 20-9 victory over the University of New England in Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) women's lacrosse action Tuesday afternoon (Apr. 16) at the Big Blue Turf.

The Gulls (9-5) remain unbeaten in conference play at 6-0, while the Nor'easters (5-8) slip back to 3-3 in league matches.

Endicott received an addition four goals from senior Kelly Tierney and three from classmate Caitlin Pratt. Another senior, Lauren Todd, ended with a pair of scores to go with two assists.

Between the pipes, junior Rachel Socolow made seven stops.

For UNE, sophomore Gina Newsome totaled three goals and an assist, and junior Hannah Tavella tossed in a pair. Junior Johanna Currier scored once, grabbed two draws, and registered a game-high three caused turnovers.

First-year goalie Courtney Kendall posted nine saves.

Endicott's Davis started things off with two minutes gone in the 1st half, but Newsome responded at the 26:49 mark to level the contest at 1-1. Tavella scored with 18:25 on the clock to move the hosts in front (2-1), but a goal from Tierney and both of Todd's markers sparked a string of seven unanswered to leave the Gulls up by six late in the opening 30 minutes.
