SPARKS, Md. – Molly Little and Brittany Read teamed up in Week 1 of the Athletes Unlimited women's lacrosse league and led Team Purple to a 2-1 record last week.
 
Captaining the team for the first week of competition, Read was the goalkeeper for each of the three games and stopped nine shots in a 12-8 win on Thursday versus Team Waters/Gold, 11 saves in a 12-5 loss to Team Apuzzo/Orange on Saturday and seven saves in a 10-9 overtime victory against Team Glynn/Blue on Sunday.
 
Read, an assistant coach at Denver, ranks 15th on the leaderboard with 343 points after earning two wins and making 27 stops over the three games.
 
Little, a DU volunteer assistant and 2021 alum, totaled 162 points after Week 1 with three caused turnovers, one ground ball and one draw control. The defender forced two turnovers and picked up a ground ball in Thursday's victory versus Team Waters.
