NEW LONDON, Conn. – Goalkeeper Holly Burwick '16 made 10 saves, but a goal in the 53rd minute by Connecticut College's Annie Higgins lifted the Camels to a 1-0 victory over No. 14 Amherst College in Wednesday afternoon's NESCAC contest.

With the loss, Amherst moves to 11-3-0 overall, 7-2-0 in NESCAC action, while Conn. College improves to 11-2-0 on the season, 6-2-0 in league play.

College a 1-0 lead.

Amherst had its chances in the first half to find the back of the net as Meredith Manley '18 fired two of the Purple & White's five shots on goal in the frame. Jessy Hale '16, Hannah Guzzi '18 and Delancey King '18 each added a shot on net, but Camels' goalkeeper Bryanna Montalvo made all five of her stops in the opening period, keeping the game scoreless.
