Defense Shines as No. 4 Bulldogs Beat Rutgers 12-6

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The No. 4 Yale women's lacrosse team limited Rutgers to 10 shots – the Scarlet Knights' lowest shot total in nearly two years – en route to a decisive 12-6 win on a cold and windy day at Reese Stadium Saturday. Senior attacker Jenna Collignon led the Yale attack, scoring five goals.
 
Yale (5-0, 0-0 Ivy League) grabbed a 4-1 lead in the game's first 8:04, but Rutgers would not let the Bulldogs pull away. The Scarlet Knights trailed 6-3 at halftime, then scored the first goal of the second half to get within two. Yale answered with three straight goals, though, including two from senior midfielder Sky Carrasquillo. The Bulldogs led 10-5 heading into the fourth quarter and allowed Rutgers (3-2, 0-0 Big Ten) only one shot in the final frame.
