• Maria Freeman has made valuable contributions on both sides of the field for the Mighty Macs, recording two goals and one assist offensively while also providing a strong defensive presence. The sophomore defender has eight shots, six of which have been on goal, and leads Immaculata with one defensive save. Her ability to contribute to the attacking third while helping protect the defensive circle makes her an important two-way player for Immaculata.

SCOUTING WILSON COLLEGE

• Wilson enters Wednesday's matchup at 5-6 overall and 3-1 in United East Conference play. The Phoenix have collected conference wins over Cedar Crest, Gwynedd Mercy, and Lancaster Bible, while their conference loss came against St. Mary's College of Maryland.
• Wilson earned a 3-2 victory over Lancaster Bible in its most recent outing on October 17 and will look to carry that momentum into Wednesday's matchup. The Phoenix have also recorded conference victories by shutout against Cedar Crest and Gwynedd Mercy.
• Kate Seymour leads the Phoenix with seven goals and 16 points in 11 games. She has taken a team-high 58 shots, putting 37 on goal, and has recorded three game-winning goals. Immaculata will need to limit her opportunities in the attacking third.
• Ginnah Kendall contributed two goals and a team-high five assists for nine points. Her playmaking ability makes her an important facilitator in the Phoenix attack.
• Erin Sullivan has started all 11 games in goal for Wilson, recording 76 saves with a .760 save percentage and a 2.34 goals-against average. She has recorded three shutouts and will be a key factor as the Phoenix look to contain Immaculata's leading scorers.

UNITED EAST CONFERENCE PLAYOFF PICTURE

• The United East Conference field hockey championship features the top six teams in the standings, with the tournament scheduled to begin on Tuesday, October 27.
• Wilson enters Wednesday in a good position at 3-1 in conference play. Immaculata, at 1-3, is looking to improve its standing with two regular-season conference games remaining.
• A victory would move the Mighty Macs to 2-3 in conference play and give them an important result against one of the teams near the top of the standings. A loss would drop Immaculata to 1-4 and put additional pressure on its regular-season finale against Gwynedd Mercy.
• While one win would secure a playoff spot for Immaculata. Wednesday's outcome will not necessarily determine Immaculata's postseason fate on its own. The final standings will also depend on the results of other conference matchups, including those involving Lancaster Bible, Gwynedd Mercy, and Cedar Crest. Immaculata will aim to control what it can by earning a conference victory at home.
