Kreitler Twins Etch Their Names All Over The UB Women's Lacrosse Record Book In Purple Knights' 17-5 Win Over Felician

Bridgeport, Conn.-Twin sisters Danielle Kreitler (Grad., Shelton, Conn.) and Megan Kreitler (Grad., Shelton, Conn.) etched their names throughout the University of Bridgeport women's lacrosse record book in the Purple Knights' 17-5 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference win over Felician University on Tuesday afternoon at Knights Field.

Megan became just the fifth player in program history to reach the 100-career goal plateau when she found the back of the net with 24 seconds to play in the first quarter.  She would finish the afternoon with a game-high five goals and add one assist for a six-point day.

Danielle recorded 10 draw controls on Tuesday to become UB's all-time leader in that category with a total of 172 in her stellar career.  She also amassed seven points in the win on four goals and three assists to give her exactly 100 points for her time in a UB uniform, joining twin sister Megan as a 100-point career scorer, as she reached that milestone earlier this season.

With Tuesday's win, Bridgeport is now 4-4 overall this season and 3-1 in the CACC.  Felician slips to 1-6 overall, and the Golden Falcons are 0-3 in conference play.

Graduate student Andrea Basilicato (Guilford, Conn.) had a strong day on offense for the winners netting three goals with one assist for four points.

Emily Stuart (Fr., Rising Sun, Md.) had five points for Bridgeport on Tuesday, as she dishing off four assists with one goal.

Freshman Tara Dimaio (Shirley, N.Y.) and senior Tereza Kreuzova (Prague, Czech Republic) rounded out the Purple Knights' goal scorers in the win, as they each had two goals.

Bridgeport defense was especially strong on the day causing 11 of Felician's 27 turnovers and holding the Golden Falcons scoreless in the second half.

UB goalkeeper Jacklyn Mellia (So., Nanuet, N.Y.) made 10 saves on the day to notch her fourth victory of the year.

After taking the weekend off, the UB women's lacrosse team will return to the field on Wednesday, April 5 at Post University when the Eagles and the Purple Knights will play an early 12 noon midweek conference game.
