GAME OVERVIEW
• After dominating Newberry in the season opener, Millersville went on to lose a match-up on the road against fifth-ranked Stonehill. The Skyhawks defeated the Marauders 2-0 last Saturday in Massachusetts. Millersville's defense played well, only allowing seven shots, but the team let up two goals in the game.
• On the offensive side, the Marauders managed to outshoot the Skyhawks 9-7, putting four shots on goal, but could not get one past the goalie Sara Freedman. After Aliza Mizak scored a hat trick in the first game, she managed only two shots, one of them on goal. Robyn Spatichia attempted three shots in the game, putting two on goal, but they were also stopped by the resilient Freedman. The loss was only the second time in the last two years that Millersville was shutout in the regular season.
• The Griffins are 0-18 from 2014 on in road games while the Marauders are 22-1 in regular season home games over the same period of time. Seton Hill will be looking for their first win on the road since Oct. 29, 2013 when it defeated Mansfield. Only four members from the team that beat Mansfield still remain, making them the only four athletes on the team to have even a single victory of the road.

ABOUT THE SERIES
• Seton Hill comes to Millersville Saturday looking to beat the Marauders for the first time ever. The Griffins haven't had much success so far. Not only are they 0-10 but they have only managed to score a goal in three of those 10 matchups. In the last seven seasons, Millersville has managed to outscore Seton Hill 15-2. Perhaps more impressively, while Millersville has scored 10 goals in the past six years of this matchup, Seton Hill has only seven shots during that time span.

THE LAST MATCH-UP
• Millersville pounded Seton Hill on the offense end in the match-up last season, outshooting Seton Hill 15-1 and winning 2-0. Goalkeeper Sam Rumler was not even forced to make a save, as the lone shot by Seton Hill was not even a shot on goal. Olivia Hershey will be looking to strike again on Saturday; in last year's matchup she had the final goal.

SCOUTING THE OPPONENT
• Seton Hill is 0-3 in 2016, being outscored 12-2 on the year so far. Wynnsome Gadson and Molly Childress are responsible from Seton Hill's only two goals of the season, both coming in a 5-2 loss against Lindenwood. Childress (4 goals, 8 points) was the Griffins top offensive player in the prior season and Seton Hill also returns their second highest point scorer from 2015, Alesha Herman.
