STORY LINES

• The Cornell women's lacrosse team will visit UConn in the first meeting between the two schools  on Sunday, March 13 at 1 p.m. at Morrone Stadium in Storrs, Conn.
• The contest will be broadcast live on FloSports.
• Cornell will attempt to build some momentum and continue its road success (2-1 this season) after snapping a two-game skid with a 17-6 victory over Colgate on Wednesday at home.
• Cornell scored the final eight goals, including posting a 7-0 shutout in the fourth quarter to avenge its 2020 loss to the Raiders - the first-ever against Colgate after 20 straight wins.
• Graduate captain Katie McGahan has made 26 saves with a .577 save percentage over her last two games and sports a .528 save percentage on the year — a mark that if maintained would be the highest by a Big Red goalkeeper since 2006 when Maggie Fava '06 (.522) won Ivy League co-Player of the Year for the Ivy co-champions.
• The Big Red is averaging 14.4 goals per game and have done so in a very balanced way, with nine different players averaging at least a point per game and 17 total scoring at least one point.
• The Huskies are off to a 5-1 start and have four consecutive wins since suffering a 13-7 loss at No. 13 James Madison on Feb. 19.
• UConn's head coach is former Big Red assistant Katie Woods (2004), a three-time Big East Coach of the Year.
