Â
LAST TIME OUT: In a tightly-contested affair that featured six ties and two lead changes, Monmouth snuck away with an 11-10 win over GW (2-6) to conclude the non-conference slate on Saturday afternoon. The Colonials finished the day with a 24-23 edge in ground balls, a 27-26 shots margin, and a 15-8 advantage in caused turnovers, while the visiting Hawks led off the draw (12-11).

SCORING SPREE: First-year attacker Tori Hampton led the squad with a season-high four goals on Saturday, three of which came in the game's first half. The Marlton, New Jersey native tops the team her .857 shots on goal percentage and with 17 points (14g, 3a).
Â
O FROM D: Junior Posie Paoletta scored her first career goal against Monmouth on Saturday. Paoletta caused a turnover in the neutral zone, picked up the groundball, and ran straight to the goal to score the first tally by a GW defender this season. The organizational science major also ranks fourth on the team with 17 ground balls and is tied for third on the team with 11 caused turnovers.
Â
ABOUT LA SALLE: The Explorers enter conference play with a 2-5 record, earning victories against LIU Brooklyn (17-4) and Radford (17-15). Maddie Dachowski leads the team with 23 points (19g, 4a) while Molly Moughlin paces the squad between the pipes with 70 saves and 11.63 GAA.
