...last four games. Last night alone, however, the Crimson racked up four goals in a convincing 4-1 win over Vermont at Jordan Field. “We came out with a great mental attitude, ready to play, ready to score goals,” sophomore forward Leigh McCoy said. Early on, the game showed no signs of becoming a blowout. In fact, the Catamounts (5-5, 0-0 America East) were the first team to strike, scoring with 10 minutes remaining in the first half.
