Scarlet Knights close out non-conference schedule with Ivy League foe

PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Rutgers women's lacrosse (5-7, 0-3) closes out non-conference play with Cornell (5-4, 2-1) on Tuesday for a 4 p.m. contest at HighPoint.com Stadium.

Last Time Out
The Scarlet Knights dropped a 20-3 Big Ten Conference game to No. 2 Maryland last Saturday in Piscataway. Redshirt junior Dakota Pastore, sophomore Taralyn Naslonski and freshman Marin Hartshorn all netted goals in the loss to the Terrapins, who entered the game as one of just three undefeated teams left in the country.

Facing a squad averaging 33 shots per game, redshirt freshman Kameron Halsall produced 13 saves, including a season-high 11 first-half stops. The Caldedon, Ontario, Canada, native has registered 10 or more saves in five outings this season during her first collegiate campaign.

Scouting Cornell
In their last time out, the Big Red registered a 23-5 victory over Binghamton last Wednesday in Ithaca, New York. Tomasina Leska collected a career-high seven points on six goals and an assist, as Cornell tied a program record with 23 goals in a single contest, which was set in 2015 against Cal.

Caroline Allen leads the Big Red with 37 points, 13 assists and 33 draw controls, while Sarah Phillips owns a team-high 27 goals. Katie McGahan has started eight of nine games this season and owns an 8.74 GAA, a .482 save percentage and 67 saves.

Naslonski within the B1G
Naslonski has been one of the most productive offensive threats in the conference this season. The Randolph High School product is second in goals per game (2.92), second in points per game (4.33) and fifth in assists per game (1.42). Naslonski is also tied for seventh in draw controls per game (3.7) and leads the Big Ten with 9.67 shots-per-game.

Naslonski's 4.33 points-per-game average is the best mark for a Scarlet Knight since 2010, while her 35 goals is tied for the fifth most in a single season for the program since 2010.
