THE PLAYERS
The Tigers sport two of the conference's top goal scorers, Olivia Okamoto (57) and Maeve Moylan (41). They're second and ninth respectively in the SCIAC. Okamoto, Moylan and Emma Cho all eclipsed the 100-career goal mark this season. Okamoto sits at sixth all-time in goals scored by Oxy players.
 
Andie Angelacci built on her all-time saves record to tally over 400 career saves earlier this season. The senior sits at 465 saves, and the Tigers will need a big game from her to stay in it.
