The Ducks’ eight-game winning streak came to an end this past Saturday, April 29, in their first MAC Freedom loss to Misericordia 10-9 after triple overtime.
Senior Zoe Cook led the Ducks with three goals on the day. Classmate Camryn Rogers and junior Emily Leiby each tallied goals and an assist in the game, while sophomore Emily Smart had three assists. Senior Juliean Murphy added a goal and an assist and first-year Stefanie Sellitto scored a goal as well. Between the pipes, graduate student Lauren Cunniff got the start and made seven saves.
Despite the loss, the Ducks clinched the number one seed in the MAC Freedom playoffs. Stevens will host the winner of Lycoming vs. Arcadia on Wednesday, May 3. Stevens beat both teams in the regular season, so the Ducks are looking to claim another victory and defend the MAC Freedom title.
The Ducks finished the regular season 15-2 overall and 7-1 in the MAC Freedom. Stevens had the same record in the MAC Freedom and made it as far as the second round when they fell to Salisbury 15-4 in the NCAA tournament in its previous, historic season.
As of now, No. 23 Stevens is also ranked fifth in Region IV in the NCAA Division III Tournament. Be on the lookout for live statistics and the livestream video on StevensDucks.com and cheer the Ducks as they look to keep their season alive.
