ABOUT THE MARAUDERS
• Millersville is making its first playoff appearance since the 2015-16 season. That season, the Marauders defeated these same Huskies, 5-2, in the quarterfinal round before falling to California (Pa.), 5-0, in the semifinal round. They are seeking their first conference championship since the 2002 season.
• Millersville won its most conference matches since that 2015-16 season and its nine wins this season are its most since the 2004-05 campaign. It marks a remarkable turn around for the Marauders who won just seven matches over their previous two seasons.

Corinne Grohoski at flight five have both played very well against PSAC opponents this season, as each hold a 4-1 record in singles play against conference foes. Grohoski ended the regular season on a hot streak, winning four of her final five singles matches.
Jasmine Morris at flight two and
Kelsey Heckert at flight three also boast winning records against PSAC opponents, as each have gone 3-2 against conference foes.
• The duo of Heckert and
Victoria Hanus at flight three doubles have been dangerous all season. The pair has compiled an overall record of 11-7 and a spotless 4-0 mark in conference play. Jones and Morris at flight one doubles and Grohoski and
Megan Rovenolt at flight two doubles have also been solid against PSAC opponents, as each duo holds a record of 3-2 against conference foes. Grohoski and Rovenolt finished the season well, winning three of their final four matches.
