Box Score

LOWELL, Mass. — Powered by a monster, 16-save day from Kat Henselder and hat tricks from Desiree Kleberg and Sophia Iaccino, the Quinnipiac University women's lacrosse team bounced back from its two-game skid on Wednesday afternoon, knocking off UMass Lowell 13-8 at Cushing Field.

The senior netminder set a season high on Wednesday, stopping 16 of the 24 shots on cage to help the Bobcats' near wire-to-wire victory.

Only FIVE goalies in #NCAALAX have had more saves than Kat today.

After falling behind 2-1, the Bobcat attacked rattled off four goals in a row, including a pair from Mia Delmond, to give them a 5-2 lead at the 12:15 mark of the second.

The lead would never get closer than two and grew as large as four on multiple occasions before Iaccino's third of the day made it five with 11 seconds left.

Melissa Murphy led the Bobcat defense, recording three ground balls and a pair of caused turnovers. Five different Quinnipiac players had multiple draw controls on the day as the unit bested Lowell 13-11 in that department.

STATS AND NOTES

Only five goalies in NCAA Lacrosse have had more saves than Henselder in a game this season. Her 16 stops are one off her career high and the most since she had that many against San Diego State on March 30, 2022.
Kleberg recorded her second hat trick of the season, joining her three-goal output against Sacred Heart on February 15.
Iaccino has recorded a point in all four games this season and it is her first hat trick of the campaign. Her last three-goal outing was a four-spot at Manhattan on April 9, 2022.
The Bobcats were a perfect 19-for-19 on the clear today, marking their first perfect output in transition on the season.
Delmond recorded her first collegiate, multi-goal outing in the win. She has scored in three of the first four games this season.
