- Kendal Anderson has scored in all three games for Michigan State this season. She opened the season with MSU's only goal in a 3-1 loss to Kent State before a two-goal, two-assist explosion in a 9-2 romp of Villanova. In her last time out, her hat trick helped propel the Spartans to a 7-1 win against Central Michigan. To date, she leads the team in goals (6), assists (3) and points (15) through three games. Anderson entered the season with her only career goal coming against Quinnipiac last season.
- Kristin Matula and Megan Fenton have both scored three times this season; In all, seven different Spartans have scored through Michigan State's first three games in which it has outscored its opponents 17-6 - good for a 5.67 goals per game average
- In goal, Katie Miller logged a majority of the minutes in goal in the Spartans' opening weekend and enters the weekend with a 2-1 record to go-along with a .643 save percentage and a 2.03 goals-against average.

OLIVIA GOLINI NAMED BIG EAST ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Quinnipiac field hockey freshman Olivia Golini (York, Maine) was named the BIG EAST Rookie of the Week, as announced by the conference office on Monday, Aug. 29, 2106.
- Golini saw the first action of her collegiate career on Friday, Aug. 26 when she was tasked with back-stopping the Bobcats in their home opener against nationally-ranked No. 8 Boston College. Golini rose to the challenge, blanking BC over the game's first 35 minutes as she headed into halftime with a shutout on the board and six saves to her credit.
- Despite being credited with allowing a pair of goals in the second half as the Eagles spoiled the freshman's debut to the tune of a 2-0 shutout, Golini was masterful in the cage for the Bobcats. Boston College's first goal came off a two-on-none breakaway that ended with 2015 All-American Emily McCoy bend a shot around Golini's lunging bid. The Eagles second goal came off a loose ball in front of the cage after Golini had twice denied the Boston College attack on the same play.
- Golini's honor is the first BIG EAST weekly award handed out to a Quinnipiac player, as the conference slate kicked-off this past weekend.
ANGIE KING
Bobcats' captain and 2016 Preseason BIG EAST pick Angie King (South Windsor, Connecticut) has recorded a defensive save in both of Quinnipiac's games this season. King led all NCAA Division I field hockey players in the category in 2015.
- King has logged every minute through two games this season for the Bobcats.
PAYTON MICKEY
Junior Payton Mickey (Lake Forest, Illinois) also recorded a defensive save in each of Quinnipiac's games this weekend. Mickey started three games as a sophomore last season, but looks like a permanent fixture through two games in the early part of the year.
