2013 Southern Connecticut State University Women’s Lacrosse Notes Games 13-14 Southern Connecticut (2-10, 0-8 NE-10) at AIC (1-11, 0-9 NE-10) April 17 • 7 p.m. • Springfield, Mass. SCSU at Merrimack (3-9, 2-6 NE-10) April 20 • 1 p.m. • North Andover, Mass. BACK INTO CONFERENCE PLAY The Southern Connecticut State University women’s lacrosse team hits the road for a pair of Northeast-10 Conference games this week. The Owls open at American International on Wednesday night at 7 p.m. and will close the week on Saturday with a 1 p.m. start at Merrimack. DEFENSE TIGHTENING THE REINS The Owls defense put up some stingy numbers in its two non-league games last week. SCSU merited just nine goals in a loss to Queens and then held Mercy to only eight goals in Sunday’s win. The eight goals allowed marked the fewest by SCSU since a 20-8 win over AIC on March 25, 2008. MARTINO JUST MISSES OUT ON CAREER-HIGH Junior Erica Martino scooped up seven groundballs in the win over Mercy on Sunday. That total was one off her careerhigh, which took place against St. Michael’s last season. PAIR NETS FIRST WINS IN OWLS’ UNIFORM Junior Hunter Prindle-Nelson picked up her first win between the pipes in the Owls’ triumph over Post on March 28. Nora Anderson then equaled that feat last time out in the win over Mercy. SOPHOMORES LEADING THE OFFENSIVE CHARGE The offensive attack has been paced by a pair of sophomores this year for the Owls. Sarah Muise leads the team with 34 points (30 goals, four assists), while Emily Orser is second with 33 points (28 goals, five 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 34 points already this year. Muise also set a new personal single-game high with four goals against St. Michael’s, Post and Assumption. A QUICK LOOK AT THE LEADERS Here’s a quick snapshot of the Owls’ leaders in several key categories heading into the week: • Goals - Sarah Muise, 30 • Assists - Emily Orser, 5 • Points - Sarah Muise, 34 • Draw Controls - Sarah Muise, 46 • Groundballs - Erica Martino, 25 • Caused Turnovers - Erica Martino/Lynette Martinez, 12
