CLOSING OUT THE CAMPAIGN
The final two games of the 2015 season will take place this week for the Southern Connecticut State University field hockey team. The Owls travel to Pace on Tuesday afternoon for a 4 p.m. start before visiting St. Michael's on Saturday morning at 11 a.m.

ALL-TIME VERSUS PACE
This is the first-ever meeting between the two programs.

ALL-TIME VERSUS ST. MICHAEL'S
Southern Connecticut leads the all-time series with St. Michael's, 13-10.

THE LAST MEETING WITH ST. MICHAEL'S
Samantha Burns scored 3:12 into overtime to give the visiting Saint Michael's College field hockey team a 2-1 victory over Southern Connecticut State University on Nov. 15, 2014.
• St. Michael's opened the scoring 13:45 into play on a goal from Megan Deschaine that was assisted by Burns. That was the score at halftime.
• Southern Connecticut evened the score almost eight minutes into the second half. Lauren Anderson smacked in a cross from Vienna Pallisco in the middle of the circle.
• Both teams had opportunities to score throughout the remainder of regulation and early in overtime, but Burns eventually scored to give the Purple Knights the win.
• Goalie Audrey Dolloff stopped 14 shots for the Owls.

LAST TIME OUT
Emma Kincaid scored the game-winning goal with 2:17 left in regulation as the Saint Anselm College field hockey team scored the final two goals of the game in a 3-2 triumph over Southern Connecticut State University on Saturday.
• SCSU opened the scoring 7:54 into play when Zoe Fanolis stickhandled through several St. Anselm players before tucking a shot past Katherine Sears.
• The Hawks tied it on an Allia Connolly goal with exactly 14 minutes left in the first half. 
• The Owls went back ahead just 2:47 into the second half on a goal from Colleen Murphy. However, the Hawks tied it 4:38 later on a goal from Meagan Halligan. Kincaid later added the game-winning tally.
• Audrey Dolloff made 11 saves for the Owls in the contest.

A LOT OF CLOSE GAMES DURING THIS SEASON
Eight of Southern's 16 matches this season have been decided by a goal. The Owls are 3-5 in those games.

DOLLOFF TO CLOSE CAREER AMONG STAT LEADERS
Audrey Dolloff has certainly left her mark on the SCSU all-time record book. A four-year starter in goal, she has a career-high 752 saves and counting entering the two games this week. She has also ranked among the top-three in the NCAA in saves/game in each of her four years. Dolloff is also on pace to finish No. 3 at SCSU in save percentage.

MURPHY STRIKES AGAIN
Colleen Murphy registered her second hat trick of the year (and of her career) in the 5-1 win over Mercy. She leads the team in goals (eight) and points (17) this year.

FANOLIS FINDING THE NET
Zoe Fanolis registered a goal in each of the Owls' two games last week.

DOLLOFF AMONG NCAA STATS LEADERS
Audrey Dolloff is currently No. 3 in Division II in saves per game.

OVERTIME NOT KIND AS OF LATE
The Owls have dropped their last four overtime decisions dating back to the 2013 season. Their last OT win came that September in a 3-2 win over St. Anselm.

OWLS ON THEIR WAY
SCSU needed just 10 games this year to surpass its win total from all of last year.

DOLLOFF MATCHES CAREER HIGH
Audrey Dolloff has posted two shutouts already this season, matching a single-season high in that department. She also posted two shutouts during her freshman season in 2012.

ONE TO NOTHING
Final scores of 1-0 have not been commonplace around the Owls' program for the better part of the past decade, either on the plus or minus side. In fact, this season marks the first time since 2006 that the Owls have registered two 1-0 victories in the same campaign. It's also the first time since 2006 that SCSU has played in at least three games during a year with that score - the 2006 team played four 1-0 games and was 2-2 that year. The Owls are also 2-2 in 1-0 games this year.

FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING (OR IN A WHILE)...
A few takeaways from the win over AIC:
• Zoe Fanolis netted her first collegiate game-winning goal.
• Sadie Young posted her first collegiate goal.
• Southern earned a win in its conference opener for the second time in the last three years.
• For the first time this year, the Owls had separate players score each goals in a contest in which they netted more than a single tally. Colleen Murphy had three goals in the win over Mansfield, while Bailey McGinnis had two goals in the loss to Franklin Pierce.

MCGINNIS RECORDS MORE MULTI-GOAL GAMES
Bailey McGinnis notched the fourth multiple-goal game of her collegiate career with two tallies in the first game against Franklin Pierce. She followed that up with a two-goal effort in the game at Stonehill, the fifth multiple-goal effort of her career.

DOLLOFF STARTS STRONG
Audrey Dolloff helped the Owls to a season opening split in a pair of games against Mansfield and No. 4 nationally ranked Shippensburg. Dolloff played the first 58:42 of action to earn the win against Mansfield and stopped all three shots she saw in the net. The following day, Dolloff kept the Owls right with the high-powered Raiders, stopping 20 shots in a 2-0 defeat.

MURPHY HAS A CAREER DAY
Senior Colleen Murphy kicked off the 2015 season in style, scoring her first career hat trick in the win over Mansfield.

JACKSON GETS INTO THE MIX
Freshman Alicia Jackson registered her first point as an Owl with an assist in the game against Mansfield.

THE CAPTAINS
Head Coach Kelley Frassinelli has announced that seniors Lauren Anderson and Audrey Dolloff, along with junior Meghan Davis will serve as the Owls team captains for the 2015 season.

WELCOME TO THE CLUB 
The Owls welcome nine newcomers to the squad for the 2015 season - Madison Cole, Alicia Jackson, Kelli McCombs, Amanda Oberly, Kya O'Donnell, Natalia Prukalski, Emily Stross, Jacqueline Touzos and Sadie Young.
