EAST STROUDSBURG, Pa. – The Marauders dropped to 6-6 overall and 3-4 in the PSAC East after falling to the No. 12 Warriors on Saturday in their third consecutive road game. Millersville kept the game in close distance during the first quarter after trailing the Warriors 4-3, but East Stroudsburg outscored the Marauders 6-3 in the second to extend their lead which Millersville would never recover from.  

"It was an unfortunate loss," said head coach Kaitlyn Hafdell. "The girls left the field knowing they gave everything they had. We had some very good looks on cage and one of the best transition games. The support on-and-off the field is what showed." 

Ashlyn Simonetti and Liv Genovese would lead the Marauders' offense with three goals and one assist each. Hayden Corcoran would score twice and dish out one assist, while Mary Moraca and Rachel Keeney would each score once.
