Women's Lacrosse Earns 24-12 Win at Felician to Close Regular Season

RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Highlighted by a season-high goal total, the University of Bridgeport's women's lacrosse team (10-5, 5-4) wrapped up the regular season on Thursday with a 24-12 win at Felician. The Purple Knights will now enter the postseason with their most wins in a year since 2015 (10).

It was dominance from the opening whistle for the visitors. UB opened the game with a 4-1 stretch before opening up a 14-5 lead at halftime. The Purple Knights led by at least seven goals throughout the entire second half.

In fitting fashion during their final regular-season game, it was the Kreitler sisters that put on a show.

Danielle Kreitler and Megan Kreitler combined for more than 50 percent of UB's scoring. Specifically, the duo racked up 13 goals and an assist on Thursday.

Sophomore Tara Dimaio joined in with seven points of her own, finishing with three goals and a season-high four assists. Dimaio's stat line put her over 100 points for her career.

Dimaio also chipped in six draw controls while Emily Stuart led UB in that department with seven. Stuart added two goals and an assist as well.

Continuing on Dimaio, she registered three more caused turnovers to wrap up the regular season tops in the CACC with 42.

UB goalkeeper Jacklyn Mellia earned win No. 10 of the season. The junior finished with nine saves to put her regular-season total at 139 (first in the CACC).
