FLASH QUOTE
"This game was the definition of a total team effort. We played a very competitive game with only 15 healthy players. Between the stomach flu and injuries, the bench was depleted but we competed like champions. Every single player stepped up to the challenge. Even when we were down by four goals, we found a way to come back and make it a one possession game. That showed the incredible heart & grit we possess. Although disappointed by the loss, we remain confident and focused on getting better every day." - head coach Tracy Coyne on the game

FLASH NUGGETS
Enrique tied Danielle Pokusa's mark of 24 saves at Robert Morris on April 20, 2008. It is the fifth time in program history a goalie had at least 20 stops in a game and the first time since Kimberly Peterson turned away 22 shots on April 18, 2010. Enrique's previous best was 18 saves that she has posted twice in her career. The graduate student now has 72 saves, a 9.16 goals against average and .595 save percentage this season.

McHenry came into the game in the Sunshine State with a career-high four goals, a feat that she accomplished six times in her career including against Longwood in the season-opener on February 22 before her five-goal outburst on Tuesday. The current Northeast Conference (NEC) Defensive Player of the Week added a season-high seven draw controls after hauling in six draw controls in her last game. She did not move up any spots on the all-time lists but moved to within three points for third place on the program's all-time career list for points (160), two goals from sixth place (95) and seven goals from becoming the sixth player in program history to score 100 goals in her career.

Givens notched her first four-goal performance of her career after a pair of hat tricks in her first six collegiate games. Hernandez's previous high for points in a game was four against Kent State in 2021 and also had a career-best two helpers for the second time in her career before her two-goal, four-assist, six-point outburst against Stetson. Hernandez ranks second on the team with 10 tallies and seven assists for 17 points, while Givens is third with 12 markers and two helpers for 14 points.

Olivia Baldini (Hamilton, Ontario) tallied a career-high four ground balls and two caused turnovers to pace the defense.

Despite the loss, the Red Flash are still off to its best start in program history. The 2010 and 2017 teams held the previous best start after six games with a 3-3 record. The squad had its program-record three-game winning streak halted in the game, which it had accomplished six times in program history.

Saint Francis enters league play with four wins or more for the fifth time in team history. The 2010, 2011 and 2018 teams also had four non-conference wins while the 2017 holds the standard with five non-league wins. The Red Flash will have one more chance at a non-conference win against St. Bonaventure on April 19.
