THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

UNH was selected third in the America East Preseason Coaches' Poll that was released Aug. 9. Hartford and Albany were picked ahead of the Wildcats in the nine-team league.
UNH opened the season with a 3-0-0 record for the first time since 1991, on their way to their first non-conference winning record since 2005.
New Hampshire's 6-3-0 non-conference record is the best in program history.
Senior captain Brooke Murphy (Monson, Mass.), the two-time reigning America East Striker of the Year, has led not only UNH but the conference in both goals and points each of the past two seasons. Murphy has 13 points on the season thus far (6g, 1a).
Kaylan Williams (Marion, Ind.) follows behind Murphy in the point total with five points (2g, 1a). Williams notched the game-winning goal against Colorado State.
Francesca Picicci (North Massapequa, N.Y.) scored her first two career goals against Army in UNH's 2-0 victory. She also assisted on a goal against Northern Colorado, bringing her point total to five.
Veronica Hardy (North Smithfield, R.I.) has chipped in so far with four points this season (1g, 2a).
Liz Lane (Porter, Maine) was one of five Wildcats who started all 19 games a year ago and was named to the conference's All-Rookie Team. This season, Lane has tallied one assist so far.
Junior midfielder Gaby Dorsey (Hubertus, Wis.) tallied a goal early in the season for two points on the season. It was the game-winning goal in the opener vs. LIU Brooklyn.
Senior goalkeeper Mia Neas (Old Saybrook, Conn.) has tallied a 6-3-0 record so far in her first starting season, after seeing action in only three games prior to this season. She has made 50 saves, for a .862 save percentage, and 0.89 goals allowed average. She won America East Player of the Week after two straight shut outs against Army and Northeastern, her second and third shutouts of the season.

MURPHY PUTS HER NAME IN THE RECORD BOOKS

Brooke Murphy has already broken the program record for career goals scored, and is looking to break the career points record as well.
The UNH benchmark of 38 goals was established by Diane McLoughlin, and stood since 1990. Murphy scored her 39^th career goal against Northeastern on September 17, 2017 to set the bar higher.
Murphy now sits at 88 points, tying Chiara Best's mark of 88 points established from 2001-04.
