With the victory, Babson won its third in a row and fifth in the last six games to improve its record to 7-6 overall and 5-1 in conference play while Wellesley had a two-game winning streak stopped and fell to 4-9 overall and 2-4 in the NEWMAC.

Curtis and junior Eileen Manning (Needham, Mass.) caused three turnovers each, and Curtis and Manning picked up four ground balls apiece.
