FRESNO, Calif. - Following a commanding road win at Hartford last week, the Quinnipiac women's lacrosse team heads across the country to take on the Fresno State Bulldogs on Sunday afternoon. Quinnipiac's final non-conference contest of 2019 will begin at 2:00 p.m. EST.

LAST TIME OUT – W, 19-10 at Hartford
13 different players scored goals for Quinnipiac women's lacrosse last Wednesday, as the Bobcats rolled to a 19-10 victory over the Hartford Hawks at Al-Marzook Field. Freshman Sophie Spencer recorded her first career hat trick and senior Allison Kuhn scored the 100th goal of her illustrious career in the victory.

SCOUTING THE BULLDOGS
Fresno State fell to Virginia Tech at home on Tuesday night, 15-8. The Bulldogs fall to 4-3 on the season with seven games remaining in the regular season. In the contest with the Hokies, junior Tiffiny Wallace and freshman Sydney Skalstad tied with a team-high three goals each. In the cage, sophomore Laurel Maunder picked up 12 saves and scooped two ground balls.

THAT'S OFFENSIVE!
Quinnipiac's 19 goals against Hartford was the highest single-game total for the Bobcats since a 20-11 win over LIU Brooklyn on April 5, 2013.

FREEDOM!
The Bobcats scored eight free position goals in the win over Hartford, the most in a game in the program's Division I history.

GET SWAZZY WITH IT
Junior Megan Szawlowski has tallied 16 goals in her first seven games as a Bobcat. The Central Connecticut State transfer has taken 38 shots and won 13 draw controls.

KUHN JOINS CENTURY CLUB
Senior attack Allison Kuhn became only the ninth player in school history to record 100 career goals with her two-goal outing at Hartford. She recorded her 100th career point against Canisius last season and now has 139 points (100 goals, 39 assists) midway through her senior year. Her 30 points (20 goals, 10 assists) this season moved her into 11^th place on the Bobcats' all-time points list, ninth all-time in goals, and tenth all-time in assists. She currently ranks 38th in the nation in points and 39th in points per game.

ATTACKING THE MAAC
Kuhn and graduate student Sami Walters both earned Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Player of the Week honors for their performances at Stetson. Kuhn was named MAAC Offensive Player of the Week after scoring five goals, including a double-overtime game-winner. She also added an assist, two draw controls, and a ground ball to her stat line. Walters, a transfer from UMass, was named MAAC Defensive Player of the Week after making a career-high nine saves in the win. After entering the game at halftime, the graduate student also picked up six ground balls in her Quinnipiac debut.

MAN DOWN BUT NOT OUT
Quinnipiac played man-down for 14 minutes in this season's game at Brown. In that time span, the Bobcats scored a shorthanded goal and did not allow Brown a single tally.

STELLAR SAMI
Transfer graduate student goalkeeper Sami Walters ranks fifth among all active Division I women's lacrosse goalkeepers with an 9.18 goals against average in her career.

ALLIE KELSEY, HOMECOMING WARRIOR
Playing in her home state, junior goalkeeper Allie Kelsey made eight saves against Brown, three shy of her career-best. She added eight ground balls and five caused turnovers, one ground ball short of tying Quinnipiac's program record.

MOVIN' ON UP
The Bobcats are one of just six of the 115 NCAA D1 Women's Lacrosse teams in the nation have increased their win total in each of the last four seasons.

TRENDING UPWARDS
Head Coach Tanya Kotowicz's squad has tallied more combined wins over the last two seasons than any two-year span since 2013.

UP TO THE CHALLENGE
The 16-game regular-season slate runs from February to April, and will feature two opponents that reached the 2018 NCAA Tournament. In addition, seven of Quinnipiac's opponents won at least nine games each a year ago. The program's seven regular season home competitions feature non-conference matchups with Brown, LIU Brooklyn, and defending Northeast Conference Champion Wagner College, who won a first round game in last year's NCAA Tournament.
