Nemirov Added To New England Command Roster

BOULDER —Former University of Colorado attacker Samantha Nemirov, who graduated this past May, has been added to the Women's Professional Lacrosse League (WPLL) Command's roster for the 2019 season. In her debut game, Nemirov tallied two goals against the Pride.

Nemirov was the second leading scorer for Colorado in 2019, recording 51 goals and 15 assists for 66 points. She set the CU record for most consecutive games with at least one point (39) as she scored in every game during the 2018 and '19 seasons. The previous record was 29 games.

She was third in the Pac-12 this season in goals per game (2.68) and was fourth in points for game (3.47). In conference only games, she finished second in goals per game (3.10), third points per game (4.10) and seventh in assists per game (1.00).

Nemirov is one of three former Buffaloes competing this season in the WPLL. Former standouts Sarah Brown (defense) and Paige Soenksen (goalkeeper) are playing for the Fight.
