Florida Tech women’s lacrosse kept their undefeated season intact Wednesday, beating Young Harris 15-10 at Florida Tech Panther Stadium in Melbourne.

Caroline Dunleavy had four goals and four assists to lead the Panthers. She earned her 200th career point with an unassisted goal with 13:50 remaining in the game. It gave her a hat-trick at that point as well. She would assist on a Sara Grenier goal 4:06 later and she would cap her historic night, scoring the last goal of the game with 27 seconds left.

“It means a lot to me because my class was the first class ever here at Florida Tech for women’s lacrosse,” said Dunleavy of the accomplishment. “But to me, it’s not really about the points it’s about the team win so I am happy we came out with that.”

Dunleavy not only means a lot to the program, but she means a lot to Panthers coach Corinne Desrosiers.

“Caroline has been such a treasure for four years,” said Desrosiers after the game. “She’s obviously a capable lacrosse player but she has really shown as a leader on this team. She is an offensive leader, she is the captain that is vocal and can get everyone on the team to listen to her.”

“No one is ever upset about what Caroline has to say,” Desrosiers continued. “When she graduates this team is gonna lose a goal scorer, we’ll recruit other goal scorers. What we’re losing in Caroline is a coach on the field and that’s gonna hurt us the most.”
