A Look At The 'Cats
NMU enters the weekend holding a record of 7-4 overall and 2-1 in conference after playing Davenport (9-6) and GVSU (11-12) this past weekend.

Maddi Bast (19-1--20), Sophie Langsdale (12-1--13), and Abby Sisson (9-2--11) have also proven to be key players on the Wildcats' offense. As for the netminders, redshirt freshman Zoe Montgomery has a save percentage of 48.1%, averaging 8.82 goals against per game. Sophomore goalkeeper Lauren Esposito has a save percentage of 42.3%, with a goals against average of 9.24.

A Look At the College of Saint Benedict
The Bennies currently have a 2-4 overall record and are 0-2 in WIAC conference play. The College of Saint Benedict is on a three-game losing streak, falling versus Chapman University (9-21) and No. 19 Colorado College (4-17) last weekend.
