Must-See TV

The rivalry between Taylor Moreno and Sam Apuzzo has been building since last season. The two athletes have gone head-to-head at the top of the leaderboard, making their Sunday night Lacrosse matchup ‘Must-See TV’. 

While Moreno sits at No. 1 with a comfortable lead to begin Week Three, Apuzzo has had the upper hand when they face off. She’s defeated Moreno in four of their last five meetings. In fact, the only game Moreno has defeated Apuzzo was the Season 2 finale, in which Moreno claimed the Championship title. 

In their Week Two matchup, Moreno’s team fell to Team Apuzzo, but the goalkeeper posted a single-game record 17 saves.
