WEST CHESTER, PA – Senior attacker
Julia Littlewood (Berwyn, Pa./Conestoga) tied a school record with eight assists as second-ranked West Chester University sloshed its way to a 22-7 victory over visiting Shippensburg in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) women's lacrosse opener Saturday afternoon at Vonnie Gros Field.
Littlewood became just the fourth player in school history to register eight assists in a single game. Dina Cifelli and Steph Kienle did it twice while Mary Johnston accomplished the feat once. Littlewood finished with 10 points – adding a pair of goals to her total from Saturday. Her eight assists are tied for the second most in an NCAA Division II game this season.
