Just a single contest for Harrisburg last week, taking down conference-foe Cedar Crest College, 4-0, to improve their win streak to seven in a row. Sharing the ball has been a big factor for the Lions as their 2.82 assists per game rank fourth in Division III. Victoria Castano has been the key factor as her seven helpers currently top the conference.

The Seahawks picked up a pair of shutout victories last week, extending their win streak to three while outsourcing their opponents 18-0 in those contests. The squad took down Immaculata University, 6-0, in a midweek tilt before picking up their first conference win with a 4-0 victory over Lancaster Bible College. Jena Vanskiver has anchored a stout defense, posting five defensive saves on the season which is tied for the 20th most in Division III.

These two programs will clash on Wednesday with postseason implications on the line. That contest will be held at 5 p.m. on the campus of St. Mary’s College.
