Holy Family started its season with a 1-2 mark after dropping its season opener to Seton Hill University, 11-6, on March 2.  The Tigers followed with a victory at Shippensburg University this past Tuesday (14-10) and capped the week with a 9-8 setback to visiting Molloy College in overtime on Saturday.
 
In her first year of collegiate action, LaRose tallied a team-best 10 goals to go along with two ground balls, three draw controls and two caused turnovers in her first three games.
 
LaRose highlighted the start of the season with a four-goal performance at Seton Hill.  She also tallied three goals against Shippensburg and Molloy.  LaRose's ten goals this season are currently the most scored in the CACC thus far.
