Meaghan Tyrrell posted five points (2g, 3a), while Megan Carney finished with a goal and an assist. Sarah Cooper helped anchor the Orange defense with five caused turnovers and four ground balls.

DOME SWEET DOME

SCOUTING THE BEARCATS
Tuesday's game is the first of 2019 for Binghamton. The Bearcats posted an 8-9 record last season and advanced to the conference tournament for the first time in the program's 17-year history. Binghamton had six players named to the All-America East team.

Sophomore attacker Paige Volkmann was named to the 2018 All-Rookie Team after posting 26 points, 20 goals and 16 ground balls in her freshman campaign. Defensively, Alexa Franze had 34 ground balls and was second on the team in caused turnovers with 24. She was named all-conference second team. Goalkeeper Taylor Passuello also earned second-team all-conference honors a year ago.

Stephanie Allen begins her seventh season at the helm of the Binghamton program.
