Women’s lacrosse at Delaware hasn’t experienced the same success as the men’s team in recent years, but the Blue Hens are now 3-0 for the first time under Amy Altig. What’s impressive about their start is the consistent unselfishness. They’ve used at least seven scorers in every game.
Ohio is for lacrosse lovers. Ohio State is 4-0 under new head coach Amanda Moore, and all four wins have come against in-state foes — Robert Morris, Kent State, Youngstown State and Akron. Cincinnati and Xavier are the only other Ohio teams left, but the Buckeyes don’t see Xavier this year. They play Cincy on April 5. CORRECTION: All four wins have come in Ohio. Robert Morris is located in Pennsylvania. I knew this, of course.
FUN WITH NUMBERS
0 • Shots taken by Mckenna Davis in a 17-3 win over Jacksonville, but that’s OK. Davis is one of the top feeders in the nation, and she assisted five goals in the win. Davis knows her role and is certainly capable of scoring on her own when presented an opportunity, but why force what’s not there?
1 • Win No. 1 for Siena head coach Danielle Schwan-Tetreault. Promoted to the head coach’s role in August after six years as an assistant at Siena, Schwan-Tetreault helped the Saints earn their first-ever win over a ranked opponent by downing Army 12-11.
9 • Goals allowed by Michigan this season. In total. In three games. The Wolverines’ most recent masterclass was an 8-4 win over Denver, a team that rode defense all the way to the final four last season. Is Michigan ready to enter that same conversation? Maddie Burns is the real deal, by the way.
10 • Points for Ellie Masera in Stony Brook’s opener. She had eight goals on 16 shots with two assists. Alex Finn, making her Seawolves debut after a strong career at UMass, had seven assists.
11 • Combined cards in Maryland’s 9-8 overtime win against Syracuse. Cathy Reese was emphatic, saying that the Terps won’t be penalized like that again.
25 • Most goals scored in a game this season, courtesy of both Duke and Notre Dame on Sunday. in blowout wins over Winthrop and Butler, respectively.
