Last Time Out
The Knights traveled to Wisconsin for the Marquette Invitational and opened the 2014 season with a 1-0 victory over Northwestern, the program's first victory over a Big Ten school, thanks to redshirt-sophomore Rachel Hoekstra (Bowmanville, Ontario/Clarington Central )'s first goal since the end of the 2012 season and junior goalkeeper Felicia Burr (Bellingham, Mass./Blackstone-Millville )'s five saves. A defeat to Loyola Chicago, 3-1, on Sunday afternoon earned the Knights a split. Amanda Goulet (Quebec City, Quebec/Shattuck-St. Mary's ), Esther Rochon (Saint Romuald, Quebec/College Francois-Xavier-Garneau) and Connie Lewis (Outer Cove, Newfoundland/Gonzaga ) joined Burr in being named to the All-Tournament team.
