Bridgeport, Conn.-Trailing 11-10 with 9:27 remaining in the game, the University of Bridgeport women's lacrosse team scored the next five goals of the contest to grab a 15-10 lead which they never relinquished on their way to a 16-13 victory over the visiting Post University Eagles in the Purple Knights' final non-conference tilt of the season and on Senior Day at Knights Field on Saturday afternoon.  With the win, UB ups its overall record in 2022 to 6-3.  Post is now 3-8 overall.

It was a career-high day for graduate student Andrea Basilicato (Guilford, Conn.), who fired home a single-game, career-best seven goals and added an assist for eight points on the afternoon.

Classmate Shyla Murray (Brentwood, N.Y.) etched her name in the University of Bridgeport women's lacrosse record book on Saturday as she joined 100-career-point club with two goals and one assist to give her exactly 100 points for her time in a Purple Knights' uniform.

Senior Megan Kreitler (Shelton, Conn.) chipped in three goals for the winners on Saturday, and classmates Jessica Kinser (Voorhees, N.J.) and Addison Plume (Glen Arm, Md.) helped spark the Bridgeport offense, as they each had two goals and one helper on Senior Day.
