POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. - The Quinnipiac women's lacrosse team will kick off Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) play when it travels to Marist to take on the Red Foxes on Saturday afternoon. The game is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m.

LAST TIME OUT – L, 13-7 at FRESNO STATE
Despite holding Fresno State to just one goal in the second half, the Bobcats dropped Sunday's non-conference finale by a score of 13-7. Allison Kuhn led the way offensively for the Bobcats with four goals.

SCOUTING THE RED FOXES
Marist is currently on a two game losing streak after most recently falling to Jacksonville 20-10. The Red Foxes have given up 38 goals in their previous two games, while only finding the back of the net 22 times. Samantha Mehalick leads the way in scoring for Marist with 30 goals. The next closest scorer has 14.

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 and nine assists in her first eight games as a Bobcat. The Central Connecticut State transfer has taken 42 shots and won 14 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 143 points (104 goals, 39 assists) midway through her senior year. Her 34 points (24 goals, 10 assists) this season moved her into 10^th place on the Bobcats' all-time points list, sixth all-time in goals, and tenth all-time in assists. She currently ranks 46th in the nation in points and 40th 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.
