20/10/21: Double Wednesday Win for Cambridge Women's Lacrosse
By Rebecca Wistreich
For their first away matches of the season, Cambridge University Women's Lacrosse Club performed decisively to take home two wins on Wednesday. With the Blues making the journey to Bristol and the Kingfishers travelling to Reading, both teams returned to Cambridge in stride.
Blues:
The Blues scored a strong victory against Bristol 17-5. It was a true team win with goals coming from across the squad and a determined defensive effort. Anna Saunter led the team on offense while Georgia Weeks captained the defence. Camille Barton notched several goals along with Rebecca Wistreich, Celeste Crosbie, and Alice Hawken, with several others scoring points for CUWLC. Strong performances from Amber Richards and Jasmine Ventham on the draw coupled with barrier-like defense from Belinda Harrison, Francesca Rix, and George Wood produced a decisive victory.
Kingfishers:
The Kingfishers took on the Reading 1s and muscled to a 23-6 win showing unmatched skill and athleticism with no substitutes. Captains Bridget Withers and Meera Bahree exhibited flawless leadership to guide their team to a forceful win. Lacking a trained goalkeeper, Gemma Jacobson and Laurie Price stepped up for half the match each and relentlessly stopped Reading's shots. Overall, winning Wednesdays are back and here to stay for the Cambridge Women's Lacrosse Club.
27/10/21: Cambridge Blues Victorious on Home Turf
By Camille Barton
Blues:
On the 27th October, the Blues took on Bath 1s securing a strong win of 24-5 on home turf in their third match of the season. With a larger squad providing some fresh legs, Cambridge was determined to go out hard and fast and keep the pressure on Bath throughout the entirety of the match. Despite Bath scoring first, Cambridge secured the ball from the draw and converted a couple of fast goals in the beginning of the first quarter. Bath fought hard for contested loose balls in the midfield providing them with some dangerous attacking opportunities that were denied by solid Cambridge defence and formidable saves from goalie George Wood. Cambridge soon found their rhythm and with some awesome goals from Rebecca Wistreich and fast drives from Lily Mainwaring, along with classy finishes from Anna Saunter, Amy Rochford, Camille Barton and Amber Richards, the score at half time was 16-2 in Cambridge’s favour. The second half was dominated by some excellent defensive performances from Georgia Weeks, Belinda Harrison, Francesca Rix and Emma Bennett, as well as impressive all-round talent and fitness from middies Katie Watson, Jasmine Ventham, Alice Hawken and Celeste Crosbie, contributing to a brilliant Cambridge victory of 24-5. This truly was a whole team performance and one that should leave CUWLC feeling very excited and positive for the rest of the season ahead!
10/11/21: Cambridge Blues defeated by a strong Exeter side
By Phoebe Jackson
Blues:
After a long bus ride the CUWLC Blues put up a strong fight against Exeter, losing 15-8 but importantly getting more than half their score. The game was played on floodlit astro meaning the ball moved rapidly from one end to the other with some strong redefending in the midfield from both teams. In the attack Camille Barton stepped up her play, often being in a 4-on-1 situation but kept calm and powered through, assisted by beautiful C-cuts from Alice Hawken. We had lots of shots on goal but unfortunately struggled to convert thanks to the opposition goalie. There were a couple of yellow cards but our loud and clear communication allowed us to play man down without major issue. Our defence played as a unit, doubling on the ball so they rarely broke through on settled play with the goals coming mostly from fast breaks. All in all, a hard fight against a strong side, but Cambridge took away many positives from their performance, feeling excited for their next meeting with Exeter at home next term.
