Opening Draw

The Orange arrive in Chestnut Hill riding a 12-game winning streak tied for the fourth longest in program history, with seven of those wins coming against ranked opponents.

Daniella Guyette ranks third nationally in goals against average at 7.01 with a .488 save percentage, earning IWLCA National Co-Defensive Player of the Week and ACC Defensive Player of the Week honors after her 11-save performance against Notre Dame.

Sophomore Molly Guzik has been the engine of the Orange offense all season, totaling 36 goals and 10 assists for 46 points while scoring in 14 of 15 games. She notched her sixth game this season with three or more goals two weeks ago at Duke.

Guzik was also named a Third Team Midseason All-American and added to the Tewaaraton Award Watch List last month.
