MIGHTY MAC NOTES
  • Elizabeth Mahmud has been the centerpiece of Immaculata's offense, leading the team with 38 goals and 43 total points on 85 shots across 13 games. She also contributes beyond scoring with 35 ground balls and a team-high 67 draw controls, making her a true all-around threat.

  • Alexa Marczak provides a strong secondary scoring option, totaling 20 goals and 22 points in 12 appearances. She has been efficient with 38 shots and adds value in transition with 24 ground balls. Marczak complements Mahmud well and gives the offense another reliable finisher.
  • Julia Pohl has emerged as the team's top playmaker despite appearing in only six games, leading the squad with 12 assists while adding five goals for 17 points. Her vision and passing ability help facilitate the offense, and her impact is noticeable when she is on the field.
  • Keira Benoit has been a balanced contributor with 10 goals and four assists in six games, averaging over two points per contest. She is also active in possession play with 21 draw controls and 13 ground balls, giving the team another versatile option in the midfield.
  • Aaliya Piperato adds depth to the attack with 11 goals and two assists, while also contributing nine ground balls and six caused turnovers. Her ability to create turnovers and transition into offense provides an added dimension.
  • Morgan Barnes and Carly Oberg both provide support across multiple areas. Barnes has totaled four points while adding 21 ground balls and 16 draw controls, though she has committed 41 turnovers. Oberg matches her with four points and contributes 16 ground balls and eight caused turnovers, helping anchor the defensive effort, and plays a key role in Immaculata's transition.
  • Samari Rodriguez has chipped in three points in 11 games and contributes to defensive pressure with five caused turnovers. Riley Mullen adds two goals and 18 ground balls, while also contributing 10 caused turnovers, showing value on the defensive end.

  • Brooke Kakowski has added 12 ground balls and is second on the team with 16 caused turnovers.
  • Abigail Guarneri has played most of the minutes in goal, recording 115 saves over 631 minutes. While her save percentage sits at .380, she faces a high volume of shots, which has contributed to her 3–10 record. Clare Dunfee has been effective in limited action with a .607 save percentage, allowing 11 goals in just over 100 minutes, while Anna Monterroso has seen limited time in net.
