LASERS LOOK
Three of Lasell's four victories this season have come over the last week. The 4-13 overall Lasers, who sit 3-5 against conference foes, ride a three-game win streak that saw 2-1 victories over Emmanuel, Regis and Anna Maria, into Wednesday's outing.  

Lasell has scored six of its season 13 goals over the last three games. Simon Nigor is responsible for the Lasers success as of late with four of his 10 points coming during the winning stretch. Nigor tops the team in points with 10 behind three markers and a squad-best four helpers. Francisco Villacorta matches Nigor's goal output with three of his own to go with two helpers.  

A quartet of keepers have seen action for Lasell this season. Jackson Burhans has two of the Lasers four wins with a .623 save percentage and a 3.50 GAA. Chris Tran, meanwhile, is responsible for the other pair of triumphs with a team-high .773 save percentage and a 2.71 GAA.
