THE LYONS: Mount Holyoke (1-7-1, 1-2-1 NEWMAC) claimed its first victory of the season on Tuesday, when it held on for a 2-1 triumph over the Coast Guard Academy. After a scoreless first half, the Lyons grabbed a 1-0 edge in the 50th minute, when midfielder Veronica Farmer set up forward Jacquelyn Archibald's first tally of the year.
