Typadis Sets Career High, Paces UM Offense

Women's Lacrosse
Michael King

Junior Kathleen Typadis scored six goals and one assist en route to a 15-7 win over Albany on Saturday afternoon. The numbers are both career highs in points and goals for the UMass attacker.

She also moved into eighth place on the school's all-time career goal scoring list. She has 98 goals in 41 games. If she scores at least four points in her next game, the junior can move into tenth place on that list as well. Also, she is fourth on the career draw controls list with 68.

Typadis' first goal of the game sparked a six goal run that put the Minutewomen in the lead for good during the first half.

The performance extended Typadis' scoring steak to 30 games. She also has started 41 consecutive games, marked by 32 multi-point games, 33 multi-goal efforts and 17 hat tricks. The junior has only been held scoreless three times over that stretch.

The six goals were the most scored by an individual UMass player since the 2005 season, when Kerri Connerty scored six against the Great Danes.

Check out tomorrow's edition of the Collegian for a game recap and more on the team's move from Garber to McGuirk.
