• The Marywood University Pacers (24-4, 5-2 AEC) come into Thursday having won five of their last six matches. In their regular season finale versus Saint Elizabeth, they won in four sets.

SERIES HISTORY

• The Pacers lead the all-time series over the Mighty Macs 19-2. Immaculata has not won a match against Marywood since 2015.

LAST MEETING

• Immaculata and Marywood saw one another just two-and-a-half weeks ago on Oct. 25. The Pacers finished the match with a four-set road victory.
• Mia Esposito had 15 kills. Damani Myers followed with 10.
• Angelica Santini Bulerin paced the offense with 30 assists. Along with the 30 assists, she added 10 digs for a double-double.
• Lauren Gartman racked up five aces.

MIGHTY MAC NOTES

• Esposito has logged a team-high 279 kills this season. She is second in Immaculata women's volleyball history for most single-season kills, only behind Jaime Williams (307).
• Santini Bulerin is up to 613 assists. She is third in the Mighty Macs' single-season record book. If she collects 11 assists against Marywood, Santini Bulerin would surpass Maranda Jones for second (623).
  • Sitting at 43 aces, Santini Bulerin is still the Mighty Macs' leader in that category. There is currently a three-way tie for ninth (48), which is the threshold for top 10 in a single season.
• Ventura has registered 381 digs on the year. Holding the sixth spot in the single-season top 10, Ventura would need 18 more digs to reach fifth. Molly Truitt is in fifth with 398.
• Antonia Antolini has a team-best 50 total blocks (13 solo, 37 assisted). Antolini is in a three-way tie with Allison Lang and Marissa Casella for fifth-most assisted blocks in a single Immaculata season (37). One more would give Antolini fifth place all to herself.
• Esposito is in second on the team behind Antolini with 35 assisted blocks. She is ninth in a single season, but she has a chance to move up. Two more assisted blocks would put her ahead of Lindsey Silvestro (36), who is currently in eighth.
