Matchup

Looking to Make History

• The last two appearances, in 2010 and 2008, were losses by just one goal

• Head Coach Kathleen Wiler is now tied for second all-time in career wins with 98
• She also has the most MAC regular season titles and is tied for second-most MAC tournament titles
• Julia Hofmann is tied in 9th place with 43 career goals and is 10th all-time with 110 career points
• Hannah Faulkner's four-goal game against Ball State ties the 6th most goals in a game. Her nine-game scoring streak this season was the second longest in program history
