MATCHUP PREVIEW
 
HOWARD
 
Howard (0-6) enters the matchup after a tough 20-4 road loss at Old Dominion Wednesday (March 5).
 
Graduate attacker Sawyer Walker (Magnolia, Del.) led the way with three draw controls, two goals and an assist while senior attacker Marley Rhymes (Coatesville, Pa.) and freshman Kyla Newkirk (Durham, N.C.) also found the back of the net.

Junior midfielder Kendall Barker (Columbus, Ohio) made an impact defensively with two ground balls and two caused turnovers, while freshmen goalkeepers Taylor Williams (West Chester, Pa.) and Madeline Willocks (Freeport, N.Y.) combined for seven saves.
