THE STORYLINE
  • The Immaculata Field Hockey Team (7-7, 1-0 AEC) heads to Marywood for their second Atlantic East Conference game of the season. Immaculata enters Saturday's match having won their last three games.
  • Marywood (9-5, 1-0 AEC) enters Saturday's game following Monday's 6-0 win over Neumann in their Atlantic East Conference opener at home. Marywood had their six-game win streak snapped on October 12th when they fell at Cortland 3-0.
THE SERIES
  • This will be the 21st meeting between these two schools in their series that began in 2006.
  • Immaculata is 4-16 all-time vs Marywood.
 
THEIR LAST MEETING
  • Marywood defeated Immaculata 2-0 in their last meeting in the Atlantic East Conference Semifinals on November 1, 2023. Julia Levase made 13 saves in goal for the Mighty Macs.
  • Marywood defeated Immaculata 4-1 at Marywood in their regular season meeting on October 17, 2023. Lauren Buckel scored her fourth goal of the season on an assist from Lauren Vandenbraak.
 
MIGHTY MAC NOTES
  • Kailey Mayoras scored her third goal of the season and helped set up Immaculata's second goal in Monday's 2-0 win over Cedar Crest. Mayoras has now scored in back-to-back games for the Mighty Macs.
  • Rory Watson scored her first goal of her Mighty Mac career on Monday night vs Cedar Crest. Watson got her own rebound, lifted the ball, and tapped it out of the air into the net late in the game to seal the 2-0 win for Immaculata.
  • Della George continues Immaculata's best player on the field, making contributions on both ends of the field. George picked up her team high fifth assist on Saturday, and in the roll of the flyer on the penalty corner inserts, she broke up Cedar Crest's only penalty corner before the Falcons could get a shot off in Monday's win.
  • Alexis Andrada who was named Atlantic East Player of the Week for the third time this season on Monday, leads Immaculata with eight goals and one assist. Her next goal will set a new IU freshman record for goals in a season.
  • Madalyn Bonner was named Atlantic East Defensive Player of the Week on Monday afternoon for her play against Goucher and Manhattanville last week. Bonner had two defensive saves vs Goucher in Immaculata's 2-1 win. Bonner played a significant role in Immaculata limiting Manhattanville's chances in Saturday's game, and in the Immaculata defense not allowing a shot against Cedar Crest on Monday.
  • Immaculata also got strong play on Monday from midfielders Jillian Vandenbraak, Abby Fekete, Stephanie Webb, and Emilyn Bivens, and defenders Rachel Madden and Kaitlin Gale who helped hold Cedar Crest without a shot in the game.
  • Immaculata goalkeeper Julia Levase had nine saves vs Goucher in Immaculata's 2-1 win and earned her third and fourth shutouts of the season in the past two games. Levase will play a key role in trying to limit the Pacers potent attack.
 
SCOUTING MARYWOOD
  • Marywood has outscored their opponents 51-21 this season.
  • Graduate forward Cydney Lahr 16 goals and three assists, graduate forward Maria Tomada with 13 goals and five assists, and junior midfielder Dariane Jones with nine goals and seven assists lead Marywood's powerful offense.
  • Senior defender Liv Rosengrant has one defensive save for the Pacers.
  • Freshman goalkeeper Sabrina Frazer is 9-4 with a 1.40 goals-against average, with two shutouts on the season.
  • Maria Tomada scored three goals on six shots on goal, and Cydney Lahr, Lany Straub, and Dariane Jones each had one goal and one assist for Marywood in their 6-0 win over Neumann on Tuesday afternoon.
  • Marywood is averaging 19.3 shots per game, and their opponents are averaging 9.7 shots per game.
 
ATLANTIC EAST CONFERENCE
  • Including Saturday's game, Immaculata's remaining three regular-season games are Atlantic East Conference games.
  • The top four teams qualify for the Atlantic East Conference Tournament starting on November 2nd with a pair of semifinal games hosted by the number 1 and number 2 seeds. The Semifinal winners will play on Saturday, November 9th at the higher seeded semifinal winner for the Atlantic East Conference Championship and the Conference's automatic birth in the NCAA Tournament.
