STANDISH, ME – Alyssa Marchant ’11 (Wakefield, MA) became the first Saint Joseph’s College Women’s Lacrosse player to reach the 100-goal milestone when she scored her second goal 3:20 into an 18-6 victory over Thomas College on March 18th.
Marchant, a 2009 All-GNAC First Team honoree, scored 46 goals in both her freshman and sophomore seasons and paced the Monks in scoring during both campaigns. In 29 career games, Marchant has been held without a goal in just two contests and owns the program’s single-game records for points (12), goals (7), assists (7), caused turnovers (5) and man-up goals (2).
She also ranks as the St. Joe’s career record holder in goals (110), goals per game (3.67), shots (217), shots on goal (180), caused turnovers (28), game-winning goals (6) and free-position goals (12).
Marchant is the fifth player in Great Northeast Athletic Conference Women's Lacrosse history to reach the triple-digit mark for career goals. Caitlyn Murphy (Lasell), Ally Daniels (Norwich), Maeghan Ross (Emerson) and Christina Canavan (Lasell) preceded her in reaching the milestone.
Not only is the junior tri-captain the first to reach the century mark at St. Joe’s, Marchant also was the first SJC player to score a goal when she did so in the Monks’ first contest against University of New England , two years ago to the day, on March 18th, 2008 at Fitzpatrick Stadium in Portland.
Through three games for the undefeated Monks, Marchant leads the squad with 18 goals and 19 total points.
Saint Joseph's, off to the best start in the program's three-year history, will play at Husson University on Wednesday, March 24th at 5:00 PM and will host Mount Ida College in the team’s GNAC opener at Deering Memorial Stadium on Saturday, March 26th at 5:30 PM.
