SERIES HISTORY
• Millersville and Clarion have met sporadically over the years, but the matchups tend to be close. The first ever matchup went to the Golden Eagles in 1983 as they edged out the Marauders 1-0. In 2016 when the two sides met in Myrtle Beach, Kelsey Campbell reached base and scored in the second inning, and neither team would score the rest of the way as Millersville took the game 1-0.

• Clarion has struggled to start the 2017 season, posting just one win to this point (1-17). Cassie Daniels is the lone Golden Eagle hitting above .300 (.313) with 10 hits, six runs and one RBI. A pair of Clarion players have five RBI's apiece but are both batting below .200 on the season.
• The lone win of the season came against Bluefield State College in which they exploded for 17 runs. 
• The Golden Eagles will travel to Philadelphia to play a doubleheader against USciences before heading to Millersville Saturday for the double-dip.
