Last Time Out:
Southern lost to No. 21 New Haven, 12-10, on Wednesday, April 13, 2022 at Jess Dow Field. Karlie Rowe (Niantic, Conn.) recorded her 100th career point in the game, becoming the ninth player in program history to reach the mark. Savannah Feinberg (Sound Beach, N.Y.) led the Owls' offense with three goals, while Alexandra Ruel (Ivoryton, Conn.) and Bayleigh Takacs (Sparta, N.J.) added two goals each. Rowe also had a goal and an assist and Brianna Shaw (Branford, Conn.), and Kelly Jagodzinski (Stamford, Conn.) scored one goal. Sarah Robbins (Farmingdale, N.Y.) had three ground balls and three caused turnovers, while Shaw caused four turnovers and Hannah Holmes (Colchester, Conn.) caused three turnovers. Jettke Gray (Easton, Conn.) had a game-high six draw controls.
