Weekly Notes:

BRYANT: The Bulldogs need one more win to tie the school record for wins in a season of 15 set last year.

SAINT ROSE: Senior midfielder Ashley McGuire picked up her team-leading 10th assist in a 4-0 victory at UMass Lowell on Wednesday. Is one of only three players in program history to accomplish that feat and is just one assist shy of tying the single-season school record. McGuire is eighth (22g, 24a) on the all-time list in scoring and three assists shy of the school mark. Senior midfielder Lindsay Bove is right behind her in ninth (26g, 15a) with 67 career points.
