Kuenne, who is tied for fourth in the league with 30 shots, has also scored five goals, while Harrington has chipped in with three goals and one assist thus far.
Kelsey Smith (one goal, five points), Christy Smith (one goal, three points), Jen Schmeltzle (1 goal) and Melissa Fricke (1 goal) have also found the back of the cage on occasion this season.
On defense, Gove leads the league with two shut outs, and has recorded six games of double digit saves, including a career-high of 18 at Brown in mid-September. In front of Gove, senior captain Mel Lepko, and sophomores Lauren Volpe and Stacy Somerfield combine with Kuenne to form the backbone of the Brown and White defense.
