Typadis moves closer to record

The Massachusetts women's lacrosse team picked up its second conference win of the season Friday afternoon, defeating the St. Joseph's Hawks 9-5 at McGuirk Stadium.

Junior attacker Kathleen Typadis entered the weekend with 42 goals under her belt, 10 goals shy of becoming UMass' all-time single season goal leader. Typadis found the back of the net five times Friday and has one more game against LaSalle Sunday to break the record.

The junior attacker couldn't have asked for a team which gives her more of a chance of breaking that record than LaSalle. Typadis has scored five goals in each of her two games against Lasalle. The Explorers are also giving up over 13.5 goals a contest in 2007. While Typadis was humble about coming closer to breaking the record, she did admit it would be nice to break the record at home.

UMass only surrendered five goals, the fewest amout all season. The last time the Minutewomen gave up five goals or less was back in 2003 in a 15-4 win over LaSalle.

With the win Friday, UMass knocked out the Hawks out of postseason contention.
