WASHINGTON – The No. 23 Georgetown women's lacrosse team (5-3) begins conference action this Saturday, March 21, as they travel to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to face the Marquette University Golden Eagles (5-3). Opening draw is scheduled for 12:00 p.m. EST at Valley Fields.
ABOUT THE HOYAS
Georgetown enters conference play looking to bounce back from a narrow 11-10 non-conference loss to Penn last Sunday. Despite the result, the Hoyas remain a force on both ends of the field, led by a defense that ranks ninth in the NCAA in scoring defense, allowing just 7.75 goals per game.
Sophia Loschert enters the weekend following a standout performance against the Quakers, where she netted a team-high three goals and collected three ground balls. One of three Hoyas named to the Preseason All-BIG EAST Team, Loschert ranks third on the team in points (19) and has been a primary threat on the attack.
Gracie Driggs continues her historic season, recently moving into second place all-time in program history with 224 career draw controls. A unanimous Preseason All-BIG EAST selection, Driggs ranks second on the squad in points (24) and leads the Hoyas in shot percentage among high-volume shooters (.500). She is joined by fellow preseason honoree
Kendall Steer, who anchors the Hoya defensive unit.
Annie McGovern currently paces the Hoya offense, leading the team in goals (20), assists (10), and total points (30). McGovern's 3.75 points per game ranks fifth in the BIG EAST, making her a focal point for the Golden Eagle defense.
