The Blue forced Eastern to turn the ball over 15 times in the second half, while holding the hosts scoreless after they took a 7-6 lead with 13 minutes left.

Wellesley scored the tying and go-ahead goals 22 seconds apart, with Meagan Fuchs scoring her team's final two goals. After senior attack Katie Bears gave Eastern its final lead, 7-6, with 12:47 left, a stifling Wellesley defense held the Warriors to just one shot while committing nine turnovers.

There were four ties and four lead changes and neither team led by more than two goals at any point. Eastern held a slim 3-2 advantage at the half, but the Blue quickly erased the deficit in the second half.

Fuchs led Wellesley's offense as the first year scored four times to up her season total to 17 goals. Also denting the scoring column for the Blue were Loretta White with two scores, and Kate Cushing, Molly Morrow and Caitlin Meeker, who each added solo goals. Cushing, Jenny Holland, Meeker and Morrow added assists for the Blue.

Junior goalie Mary Mattia made 11 saves for the winners, but was called upon for just two in the second half when the Warriors mustered only ten shots

Allison Robbins, Katie Bourque and Nicole Labbee all had four ground balls for the Blue, while MacDonald of Eastern won seven draw controls. Eastern sophomore Ashley Prizio did not score a goal for the first time this year but picked up a team-high five grounds. MacDonald, freshman midfielder Daniela Marchitto and senior Dana McLaughlin followed with four ground balls each.

Eastern next entertains Plymouth State University Saturday at 1:00pm. Wellesley is also back in action on Saturday, traveling to Mount Holyoke for a 1:00pm NEWMAC contest.
