AMHERST, Mass. – Seven different players had a hand in the Mammoths' three scores Sunday as the No. 20 Amherst College women's soccer team powered past Bates College, 3-2, at Hitchcock Field.

GAME HIGHLIGHTS
  • Getting on the board in 7th minute, senior Ruby Hastie netted her sixth goal of the season to give the home team a 1-0 edge. Corralling a dish from Kim Zhou '22 to the right of the box, Hastie powered a right-footed shot off the keeper and inside the near post.
  • Doubling their advantage at the 57:15 mark, junior Sarah Sullivan notched her first score of the fall as she lofted a shot from the bottom of the center circle under the crossbar.
  • Cutting their deficit to 2-1, Charlotte Jones found nylon in the 65th minute as she headed a free kick from the right of the box from Cece Pilgrim into the bottom left corner.
  • Potting what stood as the game-winner with 14:42 remaining in regulation, sophomore Abby Schwartz found nylon with assists from Patience Kum '25 and Sierra Rosado '25. One-touching a shot off the give-and-go, Schwartz drove her attempt past the diving keeper and into the bottom right corner.
  • Getting back within a score with time winding down, Elizabeth Patrick made the most of a free kick as she collected her own deflection after sending the initial kick from just outside the top of the box off the Mammoths' wall and ripped a laser low, left side.
  • Bates forced a save in the final five minutes, but Lily Houser's shot was as close to the visitors came to netting the equalizer late as Amherst captured the 3-2 victory.
