FIRST DRAW
The University of Dallas women's lacrosse team welcomes Millsaps College on Saturday at 11 a.m. The Crusaders are seeking their first victory after dropping the first four contests this season. These include two home matches last weekend to University of Saint Mary (12-8) and Southwestern University (18-5).

- Besides Leite, Claire Gagliano (Peachtree City, Ga.) had also scored in nearly every contest. Her streak ended last Sunday, but she is third on the team with five.
- Gagliano is one-of-two Crusaders in double figures for draw controls with a team-best 12.
