Before every game, the No. 20 Penn State women's lacrosse team (7-8, 3-1 ALC) tattoos fake Penn State Nittany Lion emblems to their leg, and, for six members of the team, tomorrow afternoon will be the last time.

At 1 p.m. tomorrow at Jeffrey Field, the Nittany Lions will host No. 9 Johns Hopkins (10-2, 3-1) for the last home game of season.

This will be the last career game for the graduating seniors, and they are hoping to end with a win.

"It's exciting because it's a big game from them. It is a good last game for them to really show their stuff," Penn State women's lacrosse coach Suzanne Isidor said. "These seniors have given a lot. They've done a lot for us on the field and off the field, and they are definitely a group that we are going to miss tremendously, so we definitely want to end the season with a bang for them."

These six seniors have helped the team a lot this year. Senior Lori Havrilla scored her 100th goal for the season against Maryland on March 25. She scored five goals against Ohio State on Friday and is sitting with 34 goals and 45 points on the season.

Senior co-captain Shari Maslin was named ALC Player of the Week this week for her performance against Ohio State and Ohio. She had six goals, two assists, eight points and leads the team in goals with 36 and points with 47. Maslin and Havrilla together account for one-third of the Lions' goals this season.

Senior Meg Boyd has also helped offensively this year, netting five goals for Penn State.

This season has been less than satisfactory for the Lions. After making it into the first round of NCAAs last year before losing in triple overtime to North Carolina, they were unable to have a strong enough season to make a return. The team, however, is trying to find the positive light in this situation.

"I think our team's goal that we had to meet, even though we didn't make the tournament this year, [was] just being able to come together as a team [and that] is going to help them be able to come together as a team next year," senior Katrina McGowan said. "So I think we did our job."

The Blue Jays are an ALC rival and are looking to revenge last season's 8-7 loss to the Lions. Havrilla was one of the main scorers for the Lions in that game, netting four goals, and the Jays will try to stop this scoring machine. Maslin will also be another main part of the offensive firepower because she is only five goals away from hitting the 100-goal mark.

The seniors, however, have nothing to be disappointed about.

They've helped the team rebuild and make it to the NCAA's last year. McGowan, Lauren Bryan and Liz Frandè might not have great statistics, but they've helped defensively.

"I think we grew a lot as a team. The seniors learned a lot that they can take into their future careers," Isidor said. "That's the great part of being a student athlete at Penn State. You learn so much more than just your sport. You learn life lessons."
