Scouting the Bonnies
The Bonnies have won their last three straight games by one-goal margins in part thanks to senior defender and Atlantic 10 Player of the Week Shannon Van Riper who scored the game-winning goal over Niagara and the game-tying goal against Canisius.
The most recent meeting between the two squads was in 2010 when La Salle defeated the Bonnies in a thrilling 2-1 double overtime victory. Then-freshman Anna Dolhansky scored both Explorer goals in the victory and La Salle keeper Gabby Pakhtigian recorded eight saves.
