Paladin Pride

Although Furman has not had a great start to the season, the school is coming off of a 13-11 victory over Queens (N.C.) on Saturday. After a bright start in the first quarter, the Paladins could not find any offensive production to close out the half. They were able to square things off in the third quarter after scoring five goals. The Paladins then closed out the match with a score of 4-2 in the fourth quarter.

Anna Roser leads the scoring for Furman with an impressive 26 goals. She scored nine goals in one game with just nine shots against Kennesaw State in February. Sophie Shaw leads the team with total points. She is second on the team with 12 goals and first on the squad with 18 assists this season.
