MUISE NAMED TO NE-10 WEEKLY HONOR ROLL For the third week in a row, Sarah Muise was named to the Northeast-10 Conference weekly honor roll this past Monday.

She scored both Owls’ goals against New Haven, posted a four-goal effort in the win over Post, and added three points in the contest against Franklin Pierce.

Sarah Muise leads the team with 21 points (18 goals, three assists), while Emily Orser is second with 16 points (13 goals, three assists). MUISE OFF TO A FAST START Sarah Muise has already surpassed her season point total from all of last year here in 2013. She totaled 13 points in 2012 but has 21 points already this year.
