Bridgeport, Conn.-The University of Bridgeport women's lacrosse team opened its 2018 season at home on Wednesday afternoon at Knights Field against the nationally-ranked University of New Haven Chargers.

Freshman Shyla Murray (Brentwood, N.Y.) would net two goals for the Purple Knights, and junior Courtney Forry (Reinholds, Pa.) had Bridgeport's other tally.
New Haven dominated the shot count on Wednesday, as UNH finished with a 36-14 advantage.
