ABOUT THE DRAGONS
The Dragons earned another impressive win, 15-6, over VCU on Wednesday afternoon, to move to 7-3 on the year.
Allison Drake eclipsed her career-high in goals with six against the Rams. The redshirt-senior previously set a career-high of five in the win against CAA newcomer Campbell just this past Friday. The Easton, Pa native now has 23 goals on the year, which is second on the team.
Corinne Bednarik also tallied five times to record her eighth hat trick off the season, and her third in a row. The fifth year has hit the back of the net 33 times this season. She is seventh best in NCAA with 56 points this season, while also being fifth best in points per game with 5.6. Bednarik is also 18th in DI with 23 assists.
