GAME OVERVIEW
• The Marauders put their 2-0 record on the line Wednesday against Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference for Bloomsburg. This matchup will be the first conference game for either side in 2016.

THE LAST MEETING: MILLERSVILLE 1, BLOOMSBURG 0 (Nov. 6, 2015)
• The two sides met in both the regular season and the PSAC tournament in 2015. In the first matchup, the Marauders dominated then nationally-ranked Bloomsburg 3-0 in a performance that included a goal from Chase Flickinger.
• The Marauders and Huskies would face off again in November with the winner advancing to the PSAC Finals. In that contest, Jaime Vazquez scored his 19th goal of the season just 17 minutes into the game and Millersville dug in defensively. Millersville outshot Bloomsburg, but Kohl Orner was steadily collected six saves to help secure the Marauder victory.
