Amherst, Mass. - The visiting Trinity College Bantams led, 7-6, with 13:44 remaining in the second half, but the Amherst College Mammoths scored the game's final four goals to post a 10-7 victory in the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) regular-season finale for both teams this evening at Lehrman Stadium.  Trinity ends the regular campaign at 9-6 overall and 4-6 in the NESCAC, while the No. 9-ranked Mammoths are now 11-4 overall and 6-4 in the league.  Trinity will visit Tufts in the NESCAC Championship Quarterfinals on Saturday at noon and Amherst hosts Bowdoin to open post-season play the same day at the same time.

Amherst took a 2-0 lead in the first four minutes, before Trinity sophomore midfielder Marcella Flibotte (Cohasset, Mass.) converted on a feed from rookie Christine Taylor (Westport, Conn.) at the 24:29 mark to get the visitors on the board.  Amherst's Becky Kendall tallied her second goal of the half to put Amherst ahead, 3-1, at the 18:54 mark, but Trinity scored three in a row including two more by Flibotte and the third by Taylor to go ahead, 4-3, with 8:13 left in the first half.  The Mammoths scored twice before the break, to take the lead back.

Capitalizing on an Amherst yellow card 5:25 into the second half, Taylor sent a pass from sophomore attacker Kendall Milligan (Needham, Mass.) into the nylon, before Amherst's Hannah Gustafson countered with her second free position goal of the game less than three minutes later.  Retaking what stood as their final lead of the night over the next seven minutes, Flibotte scored her fourth goal of the contest to pull the game into a 6-6 tie before Bantam senior tri-captain Mary French (Gloucester, Mass.) beat the Mammoths' netminder with an assist from sophomore Sophie Berger (Bryn Mawr, Pa.).

Mammoth sophomore Rebecca Wistreich connected with Kendall with the game-tying score and scored the clincher off a dish from Isabelle Sennett at the 10:21 mark.  Trinity first-year Samantha Booma (Marblehead, Mass.) hit the post right after French's goal and French took the lone Trinity shot-on-goal after that with 3:33 left in the game.  In between the pipes, rookie Addison Newsome (Winnetka, Ill.) made three stops for Trinity in the first half, while classmate Gabriella Young (Raleigh, N.C.) took the loss for the Bantams with four saves.  Talia Land registered six saves in the winning effort for Amherst.
