Junior Erika Braerman and the women’s lacrosse team got of to a good start this past Saturday. The Retrievers blew away the Dolphins 18-2 in Jacksonville, Fla. Braerman led the team with six points as she had four goals and two assists in the season opener. She was also one of four Retrievers that scored at least three goals as the team jumped on Jacksonville early and never looked back. Last season, Braerman, netted nine goals and eleven assists in the sixteen games she played in 2009. Future performances like this one from Brearman will greatly aid coach Kelly Berger and the Retrievers this season. With the departure of attacks Kara Dorr and Abbey Swift the women’s lacrosse team will need players to fill the void of those players. If Braerman can continue play at this level alongside teammate Amanda Pappas the team can be formidable on the offensive end of the field. A strong offense will help the teams chances of dispelling a three America East Conference tournament drought.

Honorable Mention: Track and field sophomore Joshua Hewitson who finished second in the 500 meter-dash in a time of 1:04.53 at the Collegiate Invitational and qualified for the 1C4A meet.
