Box Score Dana Almquist still has the scoring touch. Last year's leading scorer had a pair of goals to lead Hamline's offense in a 21-4 loss to Colorado College in the season opener for both teams Saturday. The Tigers are one of the best in the west  in D-III, going 15-3 last year. They proved it by jumping to a 7-0 lead in the first 9:14 of play. 

Almquist scored the season's first goal at 10:52. Newcomers Radian Lenz and Sydney Dynneson followed suit before halftime, which ended in CC's favor by a 15-3 margin. Almquist took a pass from Katie Pearson for a second half goal for HU. The game was played at the Concordia-St. Paul's indoor dome. 

When the Pipers return to action on Monday, March 6, they will be going into the elements. HU, which was undefeated at Klas Filed last season, will play the first of nine games on their home sod against Northland College. Game time is 6:00 p.m. They will officially open play in the Midwest Women's Lacrosse Conference on Saturday, march 11 against Cornell also at Klas Field.
