TicketsCINCINNATI – The Cincinnati lacrosse team heads on the road for two spring break matchups, beginning on Thursday with Wofford before entering conference play with Old Dominion on Sunday.
Cincinnati (6-3) currently sits third in the AAC, just behind nationally ranked #4 James Madison and #13 Florida.
In this week's conference accolades, freshman midfielder Hailey Joy Simpson nabbed her second Freshman of the Week honors thanks to a career-high four goals against Xavier. She has started in Cincinnati's last four contests, scoring one or more goals in each one.
Powered by her eighth hat trick of the season, Ottensmeyer grabbed her first honor roll award of the season, the third of her career as a Bearcat.
The senior also led the Bearcats to a 20-1 victory over the Musketeers with five goals, one assist, six points and nine shots. Cincinnati is 6-2 when Ottensmeyer scores three or more goals.
Sophomore Camryn Callaghan is seven goals shy of surpassing 100 career goals, the only Bearcat to achieve this accolade in their first two seasons in the program.
// RUNDOWN VS. WOFFORD
This is the first meeting between the two schools.
Wofford comes into the matchup 2-3 after a big loss against #20 Clemson.
The Terriers are led by head coach Jessie Aguglia, who is in her second season. Wofford is one of the youngest in the nation despite returning 15 letterwinners and six starters.
Junior Bria Foley leads the team with 14 assists for 23 points, while senior Addison Witkowski leads in goals with 10. Foley set a school record and tied the Big South record with 13 points against Stetson.
Freshman Olivia Graebner leads Wofford with 16 draw controls.
// RUNDOWN VS. OLD DOMINION
The two teams meet for the fifth time, Cincinnati leading the overall series 4-0.
Old Dominion comes in 3-5, sitting last in the AAC. ODU returns 25 members from last year's team including second-team All-Conference defender Katie McGrain.
Graduate student Emma Arnold was named American Athletic Conference Midfielder of the Week after recording 12 points with 11 goals and an assist in the two-game week.
Last time against the Monarchs, the Bearcats raced to a 17-7 senior day victory inside Nippert Stadium.
Ava Goeller scored two goals over the first 2:58 to eventually claim her sixth hat trick and 39th goal of the season. Kylie Gioia continued her late-season tear with two goals and an assist in the opening frame.
