FAIRFAX, Va. – The George Mason lacrosse team returns to the field for the first time in six days when it welcomes the Camels of Campbell to George Mason Stadium on Wednesday at 4 p.m.
 
The Patriots are looking for their first win of the season after dropping a back-and-forth battle to Elon last Thursday. In a game that saw three lead changes and two ties, Elon scored the game-winner with just 50 seconds on the clock to take the victory back to North Carolina.
 
After a season-opening 18-7 win over Stetson, the Camels have dropped their last two to common opponent ECU, 20-8, and William & Mary in double overtime, 14-13. 
 
Mason holds a 2-1 edge over Campbell all-time, winning the first two meetings in back-to-back seasons in 2014 and 2015. The Camels won the last matchup on their home turf, 14-11, in March of 2018.
 
PATRIOT POINTS
·      Senior Shannon Tuozzo scored a season-high four goals against Elon and leads the team with nine goals and 12 points this season. She is also second on the team with nine draw controls
·      Senior Chloe Reed recorded a hat-trick for the first time this season and fourth time in her career against the Phoenix, adding her first assist of the season
·      Junior Melanie Hutchinson had the best offense output of her career, posting career-highs in points, (5), assists (3) and goals (2)
·      Defensively, senior Meghan Deehan is averaging over 10 saves per game with a .432 save percentage. She has also scooped up four ground balls and has caused three turnovers
·      A highlight for the Patriots has been their defense on opponents' free position opportunities, where they are limiting teams to just a 22.7% success rate (5-22)
