COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Junior midfielder Jen Pratt (Greene, N.Y.) leads all NCAA Division I field hockey players in assists, with 15, through the first three weeks of the season, according to the national statistics released today.

Freshman forward Carla Tagliente (Cortland, N.Y.) is tied for fourth in goals (12) and sixth in total points (28).
