Big performances on both ends of the field highlight women’s lax weekend

From defensive prowess to overtime heroics, this weekend saw seven top performances from local women’s college lacrosse players. Take a look at some standouts from the Division I, II and III levels from around New England:

Katie Bourque | Dartmouth, senior, attack/midfield

Dartmouth continued on its winning ways with a 16-8 victory over Boston University on Saturday afternoon, and Bourque was a major reason why.

The senior scored five goals and added two assists for seven points. Her first tally of the game put the Big Green up 3-0, while her second opened up a two-goal lead once the Terriers’ late first-half comeback brought them within a goal. Her final three goals occurred in a second half where Dartmouth outscored BU, 8-3.
