Laker Outlook 

The Lakers are coming off another packed weekend of play as they played two games against Saint Francis University, who is ranked 1st in the NEC, last week. The first game against the Red Flash proved to be a tough matchup, as they fell by a score of 0-4. Spirits were lifted in the next game, as they scored their first goal of the season and their first goal as a Division I program. The goal was scored by sophomore Rachel Kosowski in the third quarter. Despite numerous saves and a historic goal, the Lakers fell to Saint Francis again by a score of 1-3. Mercyhurst hopes to feed off Sunday's energy and confidence as they enter a new weekend of opportunities. The Lakers have played well defensively, as they have already racked up 88 saves so far this season. After last weekend, they have an overall record of 0-5, a conference record of 0-3, and are ranked 9th in the NEC Field Hockey standings.
