MILTON, Mass. – Sophomore Kelly Parker's (Branford, Conn.) game-high five goals and four assists helped lift Curry over the Wentworth institute of Technology women's lacrosse team, 16-11, Saturday afternoon in Commonwealth Coast Conference at Katz Field.

With the win the Colonels improve to 4-5 overall and 1-1 in CCC play while the Leopards slip to 2-3 (0-3).

Senior Jessica Houghton (Billerica, Mass.) brought Wentworth within one with a goal, but Curry opened up the scoring with six straight goals, including Parker's second and third goals of the half, to lead 9-2. Junior Pam Mudge (Hooksett, N.H.) gave the Leopards their third goal of the game before Curry tallied on two more to make it 11-3 going into the half.

The second half started the just like the first kicked off; a Wentworth goal followed by three straight Curry goals.
