Thank You Seniors!! The Tigers will take time to honor their nine seniors before the Johns Hopkins game. This group leaves Towson with its names scattered through the record books and having left a lasting impression both on and off the field. This year's senior class has helped the Tigers win three straight CAA titles, the first team in league history to do so. The senior class includes attackers Andi Raymond, Taylor Moore and Sarah Maloof, midfielders Paige Duncan and Delaney Fisher, defenders Michelle Dufault, Nadia Podo and Natasha Grant and goalkeeper Kelsea Donnelly.  

Twenty Something: The Tiger offense exploded for a season-high 20 goals in Sunday's win at William & Mary. Nine Tigers scored in the game and four of those players recorded a hat trick. The 20 goals are the most ever scored by the Tigers under Head Coach Sonia LaMonica and the most since the program scored 23 goals against Richmond in 2010. The 20 goals are tied for the fifth most in program history.

Hats Off to You!! Four Tigers recorded hat tricks in Sunday's victory at William & Mary. It was the first time since last year's win at California that the four Tigers recorded three or more goals in the same game. Sophomore midfielder Samantha Brookhart had three goals for her third hat trick of the season and second in the last three games. Freshman midfielder Kaitlyn Montalbano tallied her second straight hat trick and third of the season. Redshirt sophomore midfielder Michelle Gildea recorded her first career hat trick while sophomore attacker Gabby Cha posted her second hat trick of the season.

An Impressive Mark: Redshirt senior attacker Andi Raymond had 11 points in two games last weekend for the Tigers. That gave her 52 points on the season and 199 for her career. Raymond moved past Meggie McNamara for fifth place on that list with her six points against the Tribe. Raymond needs just one more point to become just the fifth player in program history to reach 200 for her career.  
 
The Next Iron Tiger: Senior defender Michelle Dufault has been a mainstay in the Tiger line-up during her career. Dufault played in her 15th game of the season and 73rd of her career on Sunday at William & Mary. Dufault tied Mary Teeters' (2009-12) school record for career starts (73) in the game. A start against Johns Hopkins would set a new school record . Dufault stands tied for fourth on the career games played list at Towson. The school record for career games played is 76 which was set by Katie Leech (2011-14).

Dishing Out the Helpers: Towson recorded a season-high 11 assists in Sunday's win over William & Mary. Five Tigers recorded at least one assist in that game. Redshirt senior attacker Andi Raymond matched her career-high with four assists in the game while sophomores Samantha Brookhart (3) and Gabby Cha (2) each recorded multiple assists. It was the second time this season that the Tigers have recorded 10 or more assists in a game (North Carolina). Towson is 3-1 all-time under Head Coach Sonia LaMonica when it records 10 or more assists in a game.
