GAME NOTES
• No. 20 Millersville returns to Biemesderfer Stadium on a quick turnaround after playing No. 15 East Stroudsburg on Friday, March 23. The game was originally scheduled for March 20, but Winter Storm Toby had different plans on the first day of spring.
• The nationally-ranked conference rivals finally met on the field, and both teams were looking for a signature early-season win. After Millersville earned a 10-6 lead halfway through the second half, an offensive flurry lasting 2:36 minutes gave East Stroudsburg an 11-10 lead late. The Marauders had two solid chances at equalizing in the waning minutes of the game, but the Warriors' goalkeeper made two saves to give her team the win.
• Senior
Sabrina Fusco reached 227 career points against the Warriors which vaulted her ahead of Millersville Hall of Famer, Elizabeth Weekley, to first all-time in points in Millersville women's lacrosse program history. She previously broke the all-time goal scoring record held by Millersville Hall of Famer, Cherie Meiklejohn, on March 6 against West Virginia Wesleyan. Fusco ranks first in the PSAC with 29 goals which is six more than any other player in the conference.
• Senior
Kristen Butzner led the Marauders with three goals and tied for first on the team with five points against the Warriors. Butzner's facilitation throughout the season powered the high-flying Millersville offense. She has 30 assists which ranks first on the team and second in the PSAC. She currently sits two assists behind the single-season record holder, Abby Mack, who finished the 2016 season with 32.
• Redshirt junior
Shannon Davis made 19 saves including four saves against free-position attempts against the Warriors. Millersville's goal is a locked-vault with Davis defending it. She currently ranks in the top-10 in the conference in goals against average, saves percentage, and saves per game.
SCOUTING THE OPPONENT
• Bloomsburg started the season 3-2, and the Huskies are already battle-tested after five games played. The team sports a 2-1 record in games decided by one-point, and they are 2-0 in overtime games. Furthermore, the Huskies stepped up away from Steph Petit Stadium and earned a 2-0 away record.
• The Bloomsburg offense averages 15.2 goals per game and 7.6 assists per game which both rank in the top-half of the PSAC. However, the defense has struggled and allowed the fourth most goals (66) in the conference.
• The Millersville defense will need to focus on stopping offensive duo Grace Kelleher and Cailyn Gormley. Kelleher leads the Huskies in points (22), goals (13), and assists (9). She also ranks ninth in the conference in goals and points per game. Gormley ranks second on the team in points (13) and goals (12).Â
