MIGHTY MAC NOTES

Immaculata is coming off a historic 3-1 win over Cedar Crest on Thursday, earning the program's first-ever United East Conference victory.
Morgan Barnes got the Mighty Macs on the board at 7:10, finishing a play set up by Alexis Andrada. Gigi Fox added to the lead at 20:14 with an assist from Alexa Marczak.
Cedar Crest cut the deficit to one, but Andrada answered at 35:00, with Barnes picking up the assist to give Immaculata some breathing room.
The Mighty Macs controlled much of the game, finishing with a 27-5 advantage in shots and a 22-2 edge in shots on goal. Immaculata also held a 6-2 advantage in penalty corners, while Schrack made one save.
Junior Alexis Andrada continues to be a driving force for the Immaculata offense. She scored her seventh goal of the season against Cedar Crest and now sits third in program history with 61 career points.
Sophomore Morgan Barnes has been a key contributor during the Mighty Macs' recent surge. In addition to scoring the opening goal against Cedar Crest and assisting on Andrada's tally, Barnes netted the overtime game-winner in Immaculata's 3-2 comeback victory over Manhattanville on October 9.
Junior Gigi Fox scored her second goal of the season against Cedar Crest, while senior Alexa Marczak assisted on the play.
Immaculata has won back-to-back games for the first time this season, following its overtime win over Manhattanville with Thursday's victory over Cedar Crest. The Mighty Macs have scored six goals across those two contests.
Schrack and the Immaculata defense will have their hands full against a St. Mary's offense that has scored 10 goals over its last two games.
Maria Freeman, Natalie Dodd, Kayla Ledbetter, and Bailee Neitz will be important pieces of the defensive effort as the Mighty Macs look to slow down the Seahawks.

SCOUTING ST. MARY'S COLLEGE OF MARYLAND

St. Mary's enters Saturday's matchup at 6-6 overall and is coming off a 5-0 shutout victory over Wilson College on Tuesday, October 13.
The Seahawks have shown plenty of offensive firepower this season, highlighted by a 9-1 win over Gwynedd Mercy on October 3 and a 5-3 victory over Meredith College on October 10.
With four wins in their last five games, the Seahawks will look to keep their recent momentum going as they welcome the Mighty Macs to Jamie L. Roberts Stadium.

Josie Mascolo (So., D/M/F): Mascolo scored twice in St. Mary's 9-1 win over Gwynedd Mercy on October 3, finding the cage at 22:10 and 44:36. She was one of seven Seahawks to score in the contest and is tied for the team lead with four goals.
Olivia Schwendeman (Jr., F): Schwendeman also found the back of the cage twice against Gwynedd Mercy, scoring at 50:09 and 54:29. The performance marked her second career multi-goal game, and she is tied with Mascolo for the team lead with four goals.
Sophia Kent (Jr., G): Kent has started 10 games and owns a 6-4 record with three shutouts and a .792 save percentage. She made 11 saves in a shutout win over Washington College on September 23 and will be a key player to watch in the cage.

UNITED EAST CONFERENCE
