Both teams boast aggressive, high-scoring forwards.
Junior Tammy Shewchuk, who notched eight points last weekend, is the reigning ECAC Player of the Week for the second week in a row. She leads the ECAC in points scoring.

Senior forwards Carisa Zaban and Samantha Holmes lead the team in points, with eleven and eight respectively.
