Two years after she scored the golden goal that won La Salle the Atlantic 10 Championship and booked a ticket into the NCAA Tournament for the fifth time in program history, fifth-year senior Maci Bower is back in the postseason hoping to lead her team one last time.
Bower, who led the Explorers offense with 10 goals during the regular season, was supposed to be playing out her final year of college last fall with older sister Madison Bower, who assisted her on that championship-winning goal, but a foot injury last preseason took that opportunity away.
“I was really upset not being able to play one more season with (Madi) because she was the reason I came to La Salle,” Maci said in an interview earlier this season.
