With the tally against Connecticut, Kajan improved her career total to 38 goals, passing Cristin Burtis and moving into third on the Red Storm's all-time scoring list. Entering the weekend, Kajan leads both the conference and the nation in goals per game with 1.25.
Naya Lipkens played all 90 minutes between the pipes for the Red Storm at UConn, making two critical saves to preserve the clean sheet. Through eight games this year, Lipkens is boasting a goals against average of 0.98 and a .771 save percentage to rank inside the top-10 in the BIG EAST for both statistical categories.
