PHILADELPHIA, PA — The St. Bonaventure women’s lacrosse program has a new record holder for points and goals in a single game as Brooke Piper led the Bonnies to a 19-9 victory over La Salle on April 18.
Piper tallied 11 points from nine goals and two assists against the Explorers, etching her name into the Bona history books.
The single-game points record had previously been 10, held by Destinee Johnson (2019), Brenna Houghton (2008) and Katelyn Faas (2006). The previous record for goals in a game was held by Piper after she scored eight against VCU last season.
The nine goals are the most in a single game by any Atlantic 10 player since 2023 and tie the most by any Division I player this season.
Piper’s teammate Gracie Williams also had a strong showing at La Salle, setting a personal single-game record with five goals.
Goalkeeper Judy Mahoney made six saves for the Bonnies.
