Colby's Cara Dionisi (Sudbury, Mass.) scored three goals and Ally King (West Hartford, Conn.) scored two goals and added three assists to lead the 14th-ranked Mules past Wellesley 13-9 in a non-conference women's lacrosse tilt Sunday at Wellesley.

Colby held a slim 7-6 lead at the halftime break as Wellesley Grace Tsan (Alexandria, Va.) kept the Blue in the game scoring all of her team-high four goals in the first half. Colby raced out to a 4-0 lead to open the game, before Wellesley rattled off the next three straight.

However, each time Wellesley was within one Colby pushed ahead. Trailing 7-5 with 37 seconds remaining in the first half, Tsan scored her final goal of the game to put Wellesley within one at 7-6, but it was as close as the Blue would get the rest of the way as Colby outscored Wellesley 6-3 over the second half.

Colby's Anna Schierberl Scherr (Portsmouth, N.H.) played well in net for the Mules recording 11 saves in 60 minutes of action.
