@ButlerWLacrosse Travels to Central Michigan

| By:
The Butler women's lacrosse team will travel to Central Michigan this Sunday, February 27. First, draw between the Bulldogs and the Chippewa's is set for 12 p.m.

Bulldog Bits:

- The Bulldogs return 27 players from last season, including leading scorer, Campbell Connors
- 11 new Bulldogs joined the team this season and are a part of one of Butler's strongest recruiting classes in program history
- Eight of twelve starters from a year ago are back this season and poised to bring lots of experience to the table
- Kaley Attaway had a career-high four goals in our season opener against Kent St.
- Holly Hall had three caused turnovers, a goal, and an assist last game
- Campbell Connors and Kayla Kielbasa each added two goals
- Aleigh Monroe added six saves in her first collegiate win

Last Time Out
The Bulldogs picked up their first win of the 2022 campaign two weekends ago after defeating the Kent St. Golden Flashes, 11-10. Kaley Attaway was a force to be reckoned with for the Bulldogs in their last outing. The Junior notched four goals on six shots, earning her BIG EAST Midfielder of the week honors. 

Juniors Campbell Connors and Kayla Kielbasa were lethal on the attacking end, adding two goals each. Sophomore Aleigh Monroe was stellar between the pipes for the Bulldogs and was crucial in securing the victory. 
 
Central Michigan Chippewa's 
The Central Michigan Chippewa's come into the match after dropping their last contest 18-7 against Lousiville. CMU returns more than a dozen key players from last year's roster that finished 9-6 overall and 7-2 in their inaugural season in the MAC. 

The Chippewa's return All-MAC selections Brennan Paddy, Audrey Whiteside, and Jillian Baldwin. Paddy had 60 draw controls last year, and Whiteside added 25 goals which was good for third on the team. 

CMU lost their leading goal scorer from a year ago, who scored 64 goals and added 22 assists. The Bulldogs will be tasked with shutting down an explosive offense that scored 202 goals last season. 

Up Next
The Bulldogs will be on the road Tuesday, March 1, as they travel to Louisville to face the Cardinals in a mid-week tilt. First draw is set for 3 p.m.
