NASHVILLE – The Vanderbilt lacrosse team will cap its 2013 American Lacrosse Conference schedule on Sunday, April 14, when No. 3 Florida visits the VU Lacrosse Complex for a 1 p.m. CT game. Admission is free.
Vanderbilt enters the final week of the season led by a pair of seniors. Attacker Carly Linthicum is ranked ninth in the nation for goals per game, averaging 3.29 tallies each contest. Goalkeeper Chelsea Pasfield has averaged 9.0 saves per game this season to rank 10th in the country in that category.
The Commodores are hoping to avoid their first winless season in the ALC play. The Commodores hold a 34-26 record in the 12th season of conference play.
Florida is tied for second in the league following a March 30 loss at Penn State. The Gators did rebound with a win last weekend against Johns Hopkins. Five Gators have scored at least 20 goals this season, paced by 38 tallies from Shannon Gilroy.
Following Sunday’s game, the Commodores will finish out the 2013 regular season by playing host to No. 2 North Carolina on Saturday, April 20. Prior to Saturday’s game, Vanderbilt will honor the five members of its graduating class of 2013: Linthicum, Pasfield, Paige Cahill, Courtney Kirk and Olivia Goodman.
