2/1/26 - Outstanding 2026 Season Opener against NAU 

What a way to start the season for UC San Diego Women’s Lacrosse! The Tritons dominated on the road with a huge 19–3 win over Northern Arizona, showcasing depth, composure, and grit from start to finish.

Leila Mazhari was exceptional on the draw, setting the tone and keeping Triton momentum all game long. The Triton defense was relentless—holding NAU to one goal or fewer in every quarter and the attackers showed incredible effort on the re-defend to keep Triton possession. The defense’s communication, hustle, and pride on that end of the field truly stood out.

On attack, Devynn Trang had a big day with three goals, and Holly Handler turned in a fantastic performance, making smart cuts and creating opportunities for her teammates. A special shoutout to Gianna May, named Beast of the Game, for her calm composure and poise on attack when it mattered most. 

This was a complete team win: 10 different goal scorers and 9 of the 19 goals assisted, highlighting the Tritons’ selfless play and depth across the roster. Despite the long drive to Flagstaff, UCSD came ready—and one van even turned the trip into a bonding experience with some quality time at the Grand Canyon. 

All-around great vibes and momentum to start the season as UCSD looks ahead to the Santa Barbara Shootout next weekend. Let’s go Tritons!
