HOME SWEET HOME
A four-game homestand begins on Tuesday for the Southern Connecticut State University women's lacrosse team when it hosts No. 3 nationally ranked Adelphi. The Owls will host three games in five days this week, as Merrimack visits on Thursday and Bryant on Saturday.

SHE SHOOTS...SHE SCORES
The Owls erupted for a season-high 23 goals in their win over Franklin Pierce last time out. In fact, SCSU is averaging 21.5 goals per game in its victories this season.

EXACTING A LITTLE REVENGE
The April 5 win over Franklin Pierce allowed the Owls to even the season series with the Ravens. However, the victory came in a Northeast-10 Conference game - whereas the 15-10 Ravens win in March was in a non-league tilt.

MARTHA EARNS WEEKLY HONOR
Junior captain Grace Martha was selected to the Northeast-10 weekly honor roll on April 7 after tallying eight points (six goals, two assists) last week.

A NEW LEADER AT THE TOP
Senior Allison Kownacki moved past Cathy Cardini on March 25 atop the school's all-time goal list. Kownacki has netted 88 goals to date as an Owl. Including the two seasons she spent at Merrimack, Kownacki has scored 183 goals as a collegiate student-athlete. 

MARTHA STANDS ALONE
Junior Grace Martha became the program's all-time groundball leader in the game with Franklin Pierce on March 18. She moved past Cathy Cardini, who had 72 career groundballs. Martha now has 100 career groundballs and leads the club with 43 this year.

SCORING WITH REGULARITY
The 20-goal output against AIC marked the first time that the Owls had scored at least 18 goals in a game since netting 18 in a win over Assumption on April 24, 2007.

MONFREDO MAINTAINS CONSISTENCY
Sophomore Teresa Monfredo, who was second on the club in scoring a year ago, has remained a top threat for the Owls up front this year. To date, she ranks second on the club in both goals and points (19 goals, two assists).

PICKING UP WHERE SHE LEFT OFF
Senior Allison Kownacki, who scored 61 goals a year ago, has already scored 27 times in the first eight games of the 2008 campaign. Kownacki netted five markers in three separate contests this year.

ROOKIES FINDING THE SCORESHEET
Freshmen Nicole Calcaterra, Rachel Carlucci, Amanda Dilger and Jessica Kraszewski, along with sophomore Lisa Desanti, have already registered their first career goals as Owls. 

YOUTH TO BE SERVED
Sixteen of the 18 players on the Owls' roster this year are either freshmen or sophomores.

LEADING THE WAY
Senior Allison Kownacki and junior Grace Martha will serve as team captains for the Owls this spring.

FINDING THE BACK OF THE NET
Senior Allison Kownacki led all of Division II in goals per game in 2007. She tallied 61 goals in just 13 games for the Owls.

WELCOME BACK
Cathy Cardini, the all-time leading scorer in the history of the program, returns to the sidelines this season as an assistant coach. Cardini tallied 98 points (78 goals, 20 assists) in her career and led the team in scoring in her freshman and sophomore campaigns.

IN THE NORTHEAST-10 POLL
Southern Connecticut was selected eighth in this year's Northeast-10 Conference poll.

ON DECK
The Owls return to action on April 16 for a 7 p.m. home game against Bentley. It will be the final home game of the regular season for the Owls.
