Vakiener recorded her 100th career point in just her 25th game, in Saturday's 12-10 win over Elmira.  She became just the 10th player in the history of the RIT women's lacrosse program to reach that milestone, and is by far the fastest to hit 100 points.  Vakiener tallied 16 points on 10 goals and six assists, to go along with nine draw controls, seven ground balls, and five caused turnovers in a 1-2 week.  She opened the week with five goals against Nazareth, then tallied two goals and a career-best four assists in a loss to Ithaca.  Vakiener ended the week with three goals, two assists, and five draw controls in a 12-10 win over Elmira.  She leads the Empire 8 with 30 goals and 43 points this season.
