  • Freshman Fiona Walsh continues to look strong in goal, with a save percentage of 0.829 and two shutouts now under her belt.

  • Strong performances from defensive starters Megan Coughlan and Emma Lavelle helped aid Walsh with her two fantastic shutouts this past weekend.

  • Three dragons lead the offensive line with Amanda Roney, Abby Ousouljoglou, and Julie Steinhauer each scoring a goal so far.
  • Roney also leads the team in shots on goal (9) and assists (1), making her a player to watch for the Red Dragons.
