Panthers gear up for home opener against Thomas More

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The women's lacrosse team will finally be on their home turf after beginning the season with a 4-2 record away from Grand Rapids. The team is riding a four-game win streak into Saturday's non-conference contest against Thomas More. The team had the week off and will play for the first time in 14 days after a thrilling 11-10 double-overtime win at Ashland on March 8. 
 
Theadora Krueger helped the Panthers to a pair of wins over Findlay and Ashland and was named GLIAC Defensive Player of the Week on March 10. She led the team with six ground balls and four caused turnovers in the 9-3 win at Findlay on Thursday. In addition, Kreuger was instrumental in the 11-10 double overtime win on Saturday at Ashland. She recorded four ground balls, four draw controls, two caused turnovers, and tallied two goals and one assist. Also, in a 19-7 win over Fort Lewis on March 1, Krueger had three goals, two assists, two ground balls, two caused turnovers, and three draw controls. 
 
Blakely Malpass is one of three players to have double figures in goals this season and leads the team with 16. Maddy Haynes is right on her heels with 15, and Krueger has added 14. A total of 12 different Panthers have scored at least one goal this season. A part of the team's success in 2025 has been their ability to hit the target.

They are also fifth nationally in free position percentage at 70.7 percent. Malpass ranks fourth nationally (88.9) and Krueger seventh (85.7).
