What to Watch For:
1. Adelphi has the second highest scoring offense in the country at 16.05 goals per game and is led by a trio of 80+ points scorers in All-Americans Alexa Froccaro (92 pts, 67g, 25a), Rachel O'Brien (87pts, 37g, 50a) and Jacqueline Jahelka (83pts, 65g, 18a). The attack also defends, as the above trio, along with Emily Keesling (57pts, 35g, 22a) have a combined 68 caused turnovers.
2. Le Moyne counters with All-America Erica Geremia (118 pts / 66g / 52a) and Maggie Monnat (58 assists) on offense and NE-10 Goalie of the Year Molly Marbut (.519 save per. / 6.92 gaa) in the cage.
3. Adelphi is not just an offense force, as All-Americans Ryley Weber and Camille Rosellini anchor a defense that is second in the nation and tops in the Northeast-10 in Goals Against Average, holding opponents to just 5.10 goals per contest.
4. The Dolphin defense is led by Vicki Graveline, who set a program record in caused turnovers with 39 in 2015, the same numbers of turnovers caused this season by Weber.
