WOMEN'S LACROSSE HOSTS MERRIMACK WEDNESDAY AT 4 PM AT TURF FIELD
SMITHFIELD, RI - The Bulldogs host Merrimack College Wednesday afternoon in a quarterfinal matchup of the 2007 Northeast-10 Conference Women's Lacrosse Championship. The Bulldogs are the No. 4 seed of the tournament with Merrimack the No. 5 seed. The winner of today's game will face top-seed Stonehill in the semifinals on Saturday in Easton, Mass.
THE BULLDOGS
The Bulldogs will look to bounce back from Saturday's 24-12 loss to
Adelphi this afternoon against a Warriors team that the Bulldogs
faced less than a week ago. In the game, played at the Bryant
Turf Complex, the Bulldogs got a goal from Caitlin Hansen with
under a minute left to force overtime and Shaun Leddy scored the
game-winner with just 16 seconds left in the third overtime period
to lift the Bulldogs to a thrilling 16-15 win. Hansen would notch
her 100th career goal in Saturday's game vs. Adelphi, scoring four
in the contest. Hansen now has 40 goals on the season while
Leddy leads the Bulldogs with 52 total points (34g, 18a).
Lauren Carlisle is next with 33 goals while Delia Glover has 29
goals and a team-best 52 draw controls.
THE WARRIORS
Since last Thursday's loss to Bryant, Merrimack reeled off two
conference victories, defeating AIC 20-5 on Saturday and Saint
Anselm 23-15 Monday. Amanda Simeone has a team-best 53 goals
this season while Mia Basile is next with 46 goals. Lauren
Leddy, sister of Bryant's Shaun Leddy, is third on the team in
scoring with 37 goals and 18 assists. She also leads the
Warriors with 33 draw controls this season. As a team, Merrimack is
averaging 16.2 goals per game.
