  • Immaculata opened the season with a thrilling 2-1 double-overtime victory over FDU-Florham before earning a 3-0 shutout victory at King's College on September 5.
  • Marywood enters the weekend at 1-2. The Pacers opened their season with a narrow 1-0 setback at New Paltz before defeating William Paterson 3-0 on September 5. Marywood most recently dropped a 1-0 decision to the University of Scranton on Wednesday night.
 
SERIES HISTORY
  • Saturday's matchup will be the 24th meeting between Immaculata and Marywood dating back to 2006.
  • Marywood holds a 19-4 advantage in the all-time series.
 
LAST MEETING
  • Immaculata fell to Marywood 3-0 in their last meeting on October 22, 2025, at Draper Walsh Stadium.

MIGHTY MAC NOTES
  • Immaculata has scored six goals through three games, with five goals coming during its 2-0 start.
  • Morgan Barnes and Alexis Andrada currently lead the Mighty Macs with two goals and four points apiece through the first three games.
  • Gigi Fox has one goal, while Maria Freeman has one goal and one assist.
  • Andrada leads the team with seven shots, while Barnes has recorded six shots. Both players placed six shots on goal.
  • Goalkeeper Mackenzie Schrack has started all three games and has recorded two victories and one shutout to begin the season. Schrack made nine saves in Wednesday's game vs Eastern.
  • Senior Alexa Marczak ranks third on the team with five shots through three games, including two on goal. Her shots created the rebounds that led to Maria Freeman's goal against Eastern on Wednesday and Gigi Fox's goal at King's.
  • Freeman has contributed on both ends of the field. Freeman recorded an assist on Andrada's game-winning goal against FDU-Florham and has also been an important part of the Mighty Macs' defensive unit.
  • Immaculata will look for continued strong play from Maria Berenato, Olivia DiBona, Taylor Eagan, Kayla Ledbetter, and Bailee Neitz.
  • The Mighty Macs produced 25 shots and 21 shots on goal in their first two games while holding opponents to 17 shots and one goal. Against Marywood, the key will be translating that early-season offensive efficiency into sustained pressure while limiting the Pacers' opportunities in transition.

  • The Pacers opened their season with a 1-0 loss at New Paltz before bouncing back with a convincing 3-0 victory over William Paterson on September 5. Marywood was held scoreless against Scranton despite earning four penalty corners.
  • Marywood's defensive effort against Scranton was led by goalkeeper Sabrina Frazer, who made nine saves. Sophomore Aubrey Folk also recorded her first collegiate defensive save in the contest, denying a shot from Olivia Dougherty in the eighth minute to keep the game scoreless.
  • The Pacers return many key contributors from their 2025 squad, including junior captain Brooke Barwick, senior Emma Toth, sophomore Olivia Seidel, sophomore Addison Marcin, junior Whitney Berge, and junior goalkeeper Frazer.
