Most NCAA Division I teams would be lucky to have talent capable of breaking records pass through the system every so often — setting marks most players could only dream of.

Not the Boston University women’s lacrosse team — they have four.

Entering one of the most anticipated seasons in program history, the Terriers ranked as high as No. 3 in the nation in some preseason polls and were a unanimous pick to win the America East. They were setting marks in their own right as a team. Take their 21-game home winning streak for example — a simple testament to the commitment of every individual to produce on her home field.

Now, with only three games remaining in the regular season, the No. 9/10 Terriers, as a team, continually improve with each game. But they also grow as individuals. They wouldn’t be in the position they are now without the help of four standout players, each of whom could easily be a superstar anywhere in the country, but choose to play as part of the team and be just stars.

To start, senior tri-captain Lindsay Lewis is now leading a Terrier team she’s poured her heart and soul into for four years. And it shows, because after a three-goal performance against the University of Vermont, she is now just 10 goals shy of setting BU’s all-time scoring record (Chrissy Lombard, 180, currently rests at No. 1).

Lewis is also third on BU’s all-time career scoring list with 215 points in just under four seasons. It will take a bit more work if Lewis wishes to top that list, however, as she is 27 points behind Lombard’s 242 points. In addition, Lewis holds a third-place ranking for draw controls in a season when she notched 45 during the 2004 campaign. The list just runs on as Lewis currently has 122 draw controls in her career, placing her second on BU’s all-time list, 20 behind (who else), Alyssa Trudel.

Another senior who’s making just as much of an impact for the Terriers is preseason All-American Mary Beth Miller. On April 15, 2006, Miller became BU’s all-time leader in career assists with 96 — one more than Trudel, who was instrumental in helping most of the current Terriers develop their game. Miller continues to improve on her mark, as she assisted three goals against UVM, giving her 37 on the season and 99 in her career. Miller is also only five assists shy of breaking Trudel’s single-season assists mark of 42. But her accolades don’t stop there – Miller is currently tied for fifth on BU’s all-time goals list with 125.

Both Lewis and Miller reached the 200-point plateau on April 6, 2006 in a game against Harvard University. Lewis recorded an assist to become the third Terrier in program history to reach the mark, while Miller put up a whopping seven points to become a quick fourth.

Just those two players alone would seem like enough to create a solid nucleus for winning. But the Terrier’s depth just keeps on going.

Preseason All-American selection and senior tri-captain Danica Strutt holds down the fort for the Terriers on the defensive side of the ball. In her four years with the Terriers she has caused 72 turnovers, good enough for fifth on the all-time list. Strutt is currently fourth on BU’s all-time list for draw controls – 102 in four years – and trails Trudel by 40.

Strutt is a player that doesn’t have to make the stat sheets if she doesn’t want to. She could sit back, do her job as a midfielder or defenseman and help BU win the game. But her aggressive play is simply a testament to the strength of the squad, and vouches for the poise it carries, as individuals and as a team.

The fourth record-breaker for BU isn’t a senior, but rather only a sophomore by the name of Jenny Hauser. Hauser, who chose BU over the University of North Carolina and the University of Virginia, is currently on the Tewaaraton watch list — meaning she’s considered one of the best 21 players in the country. Against Vermont, Hauser tied her freshman mark of 54 goals and passed her 70 points total. (She now has 73 on the season.)

Hauser is certainly eyeing the all-time records for goals in a season (62) and points in a season (86). Hauser has already cracked the top-10 in career scoring, sitting at eighth on the list with 143 points after just under two seasons. Her 108 goals in the same amount of time put her at eighth on the career goals-scored list as well.

All four could be the sole cornerstone for a Division I team. Luckily for BU, it has all four for at least one season, with each having something different to contribute. Of course, every one of them would trade all of their records and accolades for a national championship.

With a little luck, all four of these players and their teammates will get the opportunity to extend these streaks and set these records for a little bit longer, as the path to a national championship runs directly through Boston, where these building blocks could erect an unforgettable legacy — right under the shadows of West Campus.
