The William Smith College lacrosse team is ranked 18th in Division III, according to this week’s Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association’s (IWLCA) poll. The Herons opened the 2010 season on Saturday, when they hosted 20th-ranked Nazareth.

William Smith fell to the Golden Flyers in the opener, 18-10. Sophomore Rosie Scheibel paced William Smith with three goals, while senior Molly Fitzgerald and sophomore Kathryn Gillan tallied two goals and an assist apiece. Senior Brittany Callaghan added a goal and a helper.

The Herons will look to bounce back next week, when they square off against Brockport (March 16) and Messiah (March 18) in West Palm Beach, Fla. Last spring, William Smith defeated Messiah 15-11 behind a four-goal, one-assist effort from senior Sarah Goodkind, and topped the Golden Eagles 19-11 thanks to seven goals and a helper from Fitzgerald.

Facing the toughest defense in the nation, Curtin posted his third consecutive hat trick. He completed his collegiate career with a three-goal performance at Bryant on Thursday. The Bulldogs came into the contest allowing just 6.44 goals per game, but the Statesmen netted nine goals, the second highest total against Bryant this season. Curtin capped his career 11th in career goals and career points and 12th in career assists.

DiPalma served as the coxswain for the William Smith varsity eight that finished second in the petite final at the ECAC Championships on Sunday. In their morning heat, the Herons committed a false start, but then turned in the third fastest time of the heats (out of 20 crews in three heats). William Smith covered the course in 6:59.640, then logged a time of 6:57.688 in the petite final, second only to Division I New Hampshire.
