ABOUT THE GAME

• After playing four of the last five on the road and navigating that stretch with a 3-2 record, the Marauders return home to Pucillo Gymnasium, continuing its challenging early-season schedule with Dominican. It is Millersville's fifth game in 10 days. Under Joe Clinton, Dominican has won at least 19 games each of the last seven seasons and has four NCAA Tournament appearances in that stretch. Head coach Joe Clinton ranks 16th among active Division II coaches in career wins. It is the first-ever meeting between Millersville and Dominican. Of Millersville’s first eight opponents, seven won at least 16 games last season, and all eight produced winning seasons. Millersville’s only two losses have come on the road against teams that played the NCAA Tournament last season and are currently a combined 10-3. Both of Millersville’s losses came with a starter out of the lineup. Millersville has now played four of its seven games without its opening game starting lineup.
