HANOVER, N.H. – The 2020 season may have only been five games, but that was more than enough time for people across the nation to see the kind of player Dartmouth women's lacrosse senior
Katie Bourque was this spring.
Â
For her efforts in those five contests, Bourque was named a Third Team All-American by
Inside Lacrosse Magazine.
Â
An attacker, Bourque led the team with 27 points and 21 goals, while second on the roster with six assists. Bourque was one of the nation's top scorers this season, averaging 5.4 points per game. She was on pace for 81 points in just the regular season alone, a figure that would have eclipsed the program's single-season record of 79 set by Jacque Weitzel in 2000 that included postseason play as well.
Â
Bourque scored three game-winning goals in the first five games of the season, all Dartmouth victories. One of those came in overtime at Brown in the lone Ivy League game of the season, a game in which she scored a career-high six goals.
Â
The New Jersey native would match that six-goal effort in what proved to be her final career game, finishing with seven points against UNH on March 7. Twice this season, the senior scored a career-high seven points with the other coming against BU in the home opener. She also found the back of the net four times and had five points in the Big Green's 13-9 win against visiting No. 5 Florida in early March.
Â
Although a shortened season, Bourque was twice named the Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week, the only student-athlete to be honored twice this season by the conference office.
