SETTING THE SCENE
UMSL travels to Truman State on Friday afternoon before returning home on Sunday to host Quincy on Senior Day in which Liz Drennan, Brooke Barczewski and Mary Kopsky will all be honored. The Tritons are still looking to secure a spot in the GLVC Tournament, but must pick up two wins to keep their chances alive.
 
SIZING UP THE TRITIONS

The Tritons are coming off a 1-1 double OT tie at Indianapolis last Friday and a 3-1 win at St. Joseph's last Sunday for their first win since September 21. Junior Jen Eaton scored the goal against UIndy to end a six-game scoring drought and also scored against St. Joseph's, while juniors Cassie McFadden and Katie Rapisardo also added goals.
 
SCOUTING THE OPPONENTS
Truman State is 10-3-2 overall, including 8-2-2 in the GLVC. Offensively Alexis Hefernan leads the Bulldogs with eight goals, while eight other players have recorded at least one goal on the season. Defensively, Katie Mattingly ranks second in the conference in goals against average (0.40).
