SCOUTING THE PIONEERS    
The Pioneers are in search of their first road win entering Tuesday's matchup inside the Rock Bowl on Bierie Field. Carroll utilizes a balanced attack, which is spread deep throughout its roster. Kailey Leahy leads the offensive attak with 16 goals on 33 shots on goal. Betty Koenig brings 10 assists this season along for the ride, leading her team in that category. Last weekend, the Pioneers benefited from a pair of goals from Leahy in the final five minutes to edge the University of Dallas, 11-10.

LAST TIME VERSUS CARROLL    
With a healthy combination of offense and defense, the Duhawks walked away with a decisive 13-6 victory in the 2015 season. Seven goals from five different Duhawks in their first half allowed Loras to capitalize on scoring opportunities. The defense stood tall, allowing three goals in each half.

SCOUTING THE EAGLES    
The Eagles are looking to end their three-game skid on Friday when Loras comes to town. Benedictine currently sits at 4-5 overall and 2-1 in the Midwest Women's Lacrosse Conference. The Eagles rely heavily on the offensive combo of Samantha Link and Becca Gullet, who have combined for 55 goals this season. Link, who leads the team with 32 goals, has registered 56 of her 77 shots on target, good for a .727 percentage. In goal, Benedictine platoons Hannah Smith and Rebecca Berg in goal, with Smith starting six of the team's nine games.

LAST TIME VERSUS BENEDICTINE    
A Duhawk comeback fell short in a heartbreaking loss to Benedictine in the 2015 season. Despite Benedictine establishing a 6-0 lead early in the first half, Loras fought back with four unanswered goals. Late back-to-back goals from Kaitlyn Kutsch brought the Duhawks to within one, but the surge fizzled and Benedictine held on for a narrow 8-7 victory.

HANSON BUCKLES DOWN AS DOUBLE-THREAT    
Sophomore Sarah Hanson has become a mainstay in the Duhawk lineup in her second season. Hanson not only finds scoring opportunities for herself, but has devloped a knack for setting up her teammates. More impressively, the two skills go hand-in-hand for Hanson. In the 2016 season, every game in which Hanson scores, the sophomore has also registered an assist. Hanson is currently second on the team with goals (11) and is tied for the team lead in assists (5).

DOUGHERTY HITTING HER STRIDE

In Sunday's game against Dallas, Dougherty utilized a clean pass from Sarah Hanson for Dougherty's first goal of the season. After eight games, Dougherty has registered a .600 shooting percentage with shots on goal and six caused turnovers this season.
