Randall also will enter her senior season tied for tenth in Career Goals at Curry (26), thanks largely in part to her four-goal performance against Eastern Nazarene this year, which also tied a program record (Most Goals in a Game).

With the final contest of the 2019 Season, Devin Newell '19 played in his 66th game, tying the Curry Men's Lacrosse Program Record for Most in a Career.
