NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The No. 4 Yale women's lacrosse team hosts Central Connecticut State Tuesday at 3:00 p.m. (ESPN+, International Stream, Live Stats). 
 
Last Game  
The Bulldogs
  • Senior midfielder Fallon Vaughn (Concord, Mass.) was named Ivy League Defensive Player of the Week on Monday. Vaughn totaled seven caused turnovers in Yale's two wins last week, adding four goals, four ground balls, three draw controls and two assists.
  • Yale is off to a 3-0 start this season. Last season the Bulldogs started 9-0 before suffering their first loss. That tied for the longest winning streak to start a season in school history – the 1995 team also started 9-0.
  • Senior attacker Jenna Collignon (Hinsdale, Ill.) has scored three or more goals in 10 straight games.
  • Yale plays three Connecticut opponents this year: at Quinnipiac Feb. 18, vs. Central Connecticut State Feb. 25 and at No. 23 UConn Mar. 12.
  • Yale is in the midst of a stretch of five straight games against unranked opponents. In an eight-game stretch starting Mar. 12 at No. 23 UConn, the Bulldogs will face six teams that are currently ranked.
 
The Series
  • This is the third straight season in which Yale has faced CCSU. The Bulldogs have won both meetings, outscoring CCSU 34-9.
 
The Blue Devils
  • CCSU (0-2, 0-0 NEC) has lost its first two games, to Quinnipiac and Rhode Island, by a combined score of 39-3.
  • Betsy Vendel is in her seventh season as CCSU's head coach. She is CCSU's all-time leader in assists (99), draw controls (180) and points (219).
