LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Following a stellar collegiate debut, University of Louisville women's lacrosse's Kaylin Morissette earned WomensLax.com Rookie of the Week honors, the Illinois-based organization announced Monday. A true freshman, Morissette led the team in its 13-3 victory over Canisius with four goals on seven shots and helped deliver head coach Kellie Young her 100th career victory. Morissette also tallied two ground balls and was credited with a game-high four caused turnovers. Notably, Morissette, who was one of four freshmen to earn a spot in the starting lineup, tied Bergan Foley and Sierra Smith-Hart for the most goals in a Louisville debut. Three of Morissette's goals came before the halftime break.
