Especially with Slainte Joe’s revelation that Tessa Knapp is now out with an ACL

That's a good thing, I would guess.
If I would have guessed one freshman would impress, it would have been Bristol Kersh. So, she may be the replacement for Leah Klenke? No, not a replacement, but fill her position.

So, Tess is out for the year?
Nice that Abby stayed at center back and that Gabbi is already in the lineup on defense. Also nice to have Milan in there.
Not that it matters, but who scored?

Did Kate Kimnerley play? or Charlee Siria or Reese Canada?

ND is ultra tight on disclosing anything, but was this recent? Earlier? I really like Knapp.
That said, "losing" a year for her now, may be a gain down the road in that it extends her eligibility.

All the best to her recovery.

with the 5 for 5 rule unless I misunderstand. I don’t think seasons lost due to injury get a 6th year

Granted, everything in the NCAA rulebook these days is subject to change so...

The Ivies go four years of academic and athletic eligibility and you're out of the Ivy (much to the delight of major lacrosse teams in the B1G and ACC).
So this is now the gist of the current NCAA rule, but for five years. Well, glad she gets an extra year that way.
