HOWARD
 
Howard (1-11, 1-5 NEC) enters the contest following a 14-3 home loss to Saint Francis Wednesday (April 9). The Bison struggled to find an offensive rhythm, committing 21 turnovers and taking only 10 shots on goal.
 
Freshman midfielder Kyla Newkirk (Durham, N.C.) scored the Bison's first goal of the day in the second quarter, followed by scores from graduate attacker Sawyer Walker (Magnolia, Del.) and junior Chase Coleman (Houston).
 
Freshman Leah Croom (Miami) contributed six ground balls and an assist while Walker also added two ground balls and a goal.
 
In net, freshman goalie Taylor Williams (West Chester, Pa.) recorded eight saves.
 
Howard will aim to refocus on both ends of the field as they head into a key late-season matchup in Syracuse.
 
LE MOYNE COLLEGE
 
Le Moyne, a recent addition to the NEC, brings a disciplined style of play and an aggressive attack. The Dolphins are expected to present a significant challenge on their home turf.
