Last Time Out
In the season opener on Feb. 12, host Oregon defeated Mason, 14-11, at Papé Field in Eugene, Oregon.

Scouting Navy
The Navy women's lacrosse team (1-0) defeated Cal (0-1) to open the season on Feb. 11 at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Md. The Mids used a balanced attack as 10 different student-athletes found the back of the net, including four who scored multiple goals, led by Patriot League Rookie of the Week Jaimeson Meyer, who  scored a hat trick. She took four shots, converting all three shots on goal for the hat trick. Meyer scored her first collegiate goal in the third quarter, while closing out the game with two goals in Navy's 5-1 run to put the game away. Goalkeeper Jo Torres earned the win, recording 11 saves in the game. The sophomore notched her third career double-digit save game, coming one stop shy of tying a career high in saves.

Roster Bolstered
Mason returns junior Chloe Reed to the line-up. The A-10 All-Rookie Team selection started 15 games for the Patriots as a sophomore. She closed out the season with 16 goals and two assists for a total of 18 points. The Patriots 2022 roster boasts four transfers. The talented group includes two former Hartford student-athletes: goalkeeper Emma Privitera and midfielder Shannon Tuozzo, Second-Team All-SoCon goalkeeper Meghan Deehan, and former George Washington attack Ioanna Mantzouratos.

Challenging Non-Conference Slate
The 2022 schedule includes games against opponents from six conferences outside of the nine-match Atlantic 10 schedule. The Patriots will host nine contests at George Mason Stadium and play opponents from the Pac-12, Big East, ACC, American, Patriot League and the NEC during the non-conference.
