This is Calvin's first-ever invitation to the NCAA event. The Knights drew a bye in the NCAA tournament's first round. Denison was also a competitor in the NCAA Division III Championships in 1992 and 1993, advancing to the second round in '92. The Big Red are now 2-2 in NCAA postseason play. The balance of a strong scoring threat and an aggressive defense has been the key for the Big Red this fall.
Carpenter is the team leader in assists with six.
Tiscornia anchors the Denison defense, having made 74 saves and posted a school record 12 shutouts. Her current saves percentage is .841, and her goals-against average is now 0.67. I feel very fortunate to have inherited this group of talented players. This is what they told me they wanted from the beginning, and their hard work, determination and dedication have paid off. They work incredibly hard for each other, and that has been the most important factor in our success this year.
