No. 8 Notre Dame is off to a hot start, having defeated Jacksonville and No. 15 Stanford by a combined score of 31-14. Graduate student Barbara Sullivan, a 2015 Tewaaraton Finalist, was recently named Lacrosse Magazine Player of the Week following her team's success in the first week of play to the 2016 campaign.

Sarah Mannelly moved into sole possession of sixth place in the BC career assists record. She currently has 49 career assists. Her next assist will put her in a tie for fifth place all-time with Kristin Igoe (2008-12), who recorded 50 career assists.
Sam Apuzzo continues to show dominance early in her collegiate career. The freshman notched her second straight hat trick in as many collegiate games while her eight draw controls at Holy Cross were the fifth most ever in a single game for a BC player.
