CLAREMONT, Calif. - Sophomore Ella Brown doubled her previous career high with six goals to lead the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps women's lacrosse team to a 17-15 win over No. 21 Colorado College on Sunday afternoon at Zinda Field. 

With the win, CMS moves to 5-2 on the season, while Colorado College slips to 3-2, after defeating nationally ranked St. John Fisher and falling to Pomona-Pitzer on Friday on the first leg of its California trip. 

Amelia Ulmer added four goals for the Athenas, while Lyla Johnston had seven saves, and Julia Ryan finished with 19 draw controls. 

CMS never trailed in the game, although the Tigers kept rallying back, tying the score 4-4 after being down 4-1 and then tying it 7-7 after being down 7-4, before closing on a 4-0 run to cut a 17-11 deficit down to 17-15. 

Brown opened the third quarter with a goal to put CMS ahead 7-4, before Colorado College scored three goals in a row to tie it 7-7. Ulmer gave CMS the lead for good with 8:07 left in the third to start a 4-0 run, feeding Maya Mihara for the next goal just 53 seconds later. 

Summer Matsik made it a 10-7 game and Ulmer scored her second goal of the 4-0 run off a feed from Ava Goldson to make it 11-7. 

Brown then scored the next three CMS goals, twice answering Colorado College goals in the third and then opening the fourth with another one 17 seconds in to make the score 14-9. After the Tigers scored two in a row, defender Ava Marra scored at the end of a long run upfield for her first goal of the season to make it 15-11, and Matsik and Brown added two more to make it 17-11. 

The Tigers were able to close the gap to 17-15, but Sanya Arora came up with a couple of big saves in her college debut in relief of Johnston to help stop the comeback. 

Brown's six goals eclipsed her previous high of three, which she had accomplished twice, once last year and once earlier this season against Bates. She came into the Colorado College game with seven goals on the season, and nearly doubled it against the Tigers. 

CMS will be back in action on Tuesday night, when it hosts No. 8 Amherst at 7 p.m.
