Richmond women's lacrosse scored the first two goals, but a run of five-straight from defending champion Massachusetts put the Minutewomen in front to start the season half as UM won the 2014 Atlantic 10 Championship 10-6 at Robins Stadium Sunday.
The Spiders finish the season at 11-7, the most wins since taking 11 in 2007.
Junior Emily Doyle (Ho-Ho-Kus, N.J.) scored a pair of goals, including the first of the game in the first minute.
Sophomore Brooke Wilson (Ijamsville, Md.) found the back of the net a little over two minutes later for the 2-0 lead as the Spiders controlled possession for most of the early going.
The teams traded goals over the next four before the five-goal streak by the Minutewomen to end the first and start the second half, leading to a 7-4 Massachusetts lead.
Doyle and junior Anna Jeszeck (Cortlandt Manor, N.Y.) scored Richmond's pair of second-half goals.
