Westfield, Mass., native honored after record-breaking week for Ravens

RINDGE, N.H. (April 15, 2008) - Franklin Pierce University freshman Jordan Baillargeon (Westfield, Mass./Westfield) was named the Northeast-10 Conference Player and Freshman of the Week for women's lacrosse on Monday.

Baillargeon more than doubled her season totals by netting 15 goals and assisting on four for 19 points in three games for Franklin Pierce last week. She enjoyed a record-setting performance in Thursday's 25-20 win over Norwich University, as Baillargeon scored ten goals and added three assists for 13 points. Her point total set a new school record for points in a game, surpassing the 12 points of Jami Ladakakos '99 against Castleton State College on April 21, 1999, and also matched the fifth highest single-game total in NCAA Division II history. The ten goals are the second-highest single-game total in program history and are tied for fourth all-time in DII, only two behind the national-record 12 goals Ladakakos recorded against Castleton.

Baillargeon also scored three goals against Saint Anselm College on Tuesday and ended the week with two goals and an assist at 9^th-ranked University of New Haven on Saturday.

In ten starts this season, Baillargeon currently ranks second on the team in both goals and points with her 27 goals and four assists for 31 points. She has greatly increased her production as of late, as 21 of her goals and all four of her assists have come in the last team's five matches.

Franklin Pierce (2-9, 0-6 NE-10) returns to action on Wednesday evening, as the Ravens welcome conference foe Merrimack College to Sodexho Field at 6 p.m.
