NEW LONDON, Conn. - The Endicott field hockey team traveled to Connecticut College on Monday evening and they were handed a close 5-3 loss. 

The Camels got on the board first at 21:29 of the first half when Kaja Hartwell (Hyde Park, Mass.) found the back of the net. 

Connecticut College saw three more goals, two from Meghan Gazard (Ashland, Mass.) and one from Caroline Ferro (Wilton, Conn.), to take a 4-0 lead at the half.

With time winding down, the Camels increased their lead to 5-2 on a tally from Jamie Navoni (Northborough, Mass.). 

The Gulls continued to push offensively, which allowed Addi Williams (Pittsfield, Maine) to record her 10th goal of the season. Ultimately, the second half comeback fell just short for Endicott and the game ended with a 5-3 score.
