Philadelphia, PA - Head Coach Julie Weiss and the La Salle University athletic department honored the six seniors who would be playing in their final game at McCarthy Stadium today, Sunday, May 1st before the Explorers dropped a 11-5 decision to the Duquesne Dukes.

The Dukes took a quick 3-0 lead before La Salle senior Kate Henwood (Glen Mills, PA/Garnet Valley) scored the Explorers first goal of the game followed by freshman Emily Bonczek's (Pittsford, NY/Rush-Henrietta) first of four goals to bring the Explorers to within two, 4-2.
