ORANGE, Calif. - Grace Minturn, Amelia Ulmer and Ella Seidel each scored four goals to lead the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps women's lacrosse team to a hard-fought 17-13 road win over Chapman on Saturday. 

With the win, CMS moves to 3-0 on the young season, as well as 2-0 in the SCIAC, while Chapman opens up its campaign with a tight loss. 

The score was tied 9-9 midway through the third, when Maya Mihara gave CMS the lead for good with 8:29 on the third-quarter clock, followed 38 seconds later by a goal from Seidel. After Chapman closed to 11-10, CMS scored three in a row, with Ulmer scoring twice around a goal from Summer Matsik. 

Chapman scored the final goal of the third quarter to make the score 14-11, but Minturn and Matsik each converted to give CMS its largest lead at 16-11, before settling for a 17-13 final spread. 

Shots were even for the contest, with the Athenas finishing with 33 and Chapman tallying 32. Seidel had a team-high three assists and Minturn added two, while Kate Larson added a pair of goals. Julia Ryan finished with 22 draw controls, giving her at least 20 in all three games this season.
