STORYLINE
Bloomsburg looks to put together back-to-back wins and move up in the PSAC standings when it hosts Shippensburg at Sports Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

LAST TIME OUT
(Box Score) The Huskies used a second half goal from Ashley Snachez and a strong defensive performance to record a 1-0 victory at Millersville on Wednesday. After a scoreless first half, Sanchez took advantage of a rebound from a shot by Jenna Fisher (Selinsgrove/Selinsgrove) and scorched a ball past the Marauders keeper from 18 yards out in the 61st minute for what would be the only goal of the match. Danielle Fiorelli (Warrington/Villa Joseph Marie) made four saves in net.

SCOUTING SHIPPENSBURG
Shippensburg has won back-to-back matches, both in double overtime after also defeating East Stroudsburg, 1-0, in double OT. While the Raiders have been perfect at home, posting a 6-0 record, they have gone 2-4 on the road. Freshman Casey Rightmyer leads the team with three goals while Kate Zech, Brooke Clippinger and Ashley Vellucci all have two. Shippensburg is seeking its first postseason appearance since 2010 and have already improved upon last year's 6-9-3 record. Shelbie Rackley has played all 1125 minutes in goal this season for the Raiders, posting a 0.96 GAA with 60 saves in 12 matches.

LAST MEETING
(Box Score) Shippensburg came away with a 2-1 win in overtime on Oct. 13, 2012 at Sports Stadium. After trailing 1-0 at halftime, Ashley Sanchez (Lyndhurst/DePaul Catholic) tied the game with a goal in the 72nd minute to send the match to an extra period. The Raiders ended the contest on a score by Mackenzie Neal in the 97th minute to secure victory. Danielle Fiorelli (Warrington/Villa Joseph Marie) made 12 saves for Bloomsburg on the day.

ALL-TIME SERIES
Bloomsburg leads, 19-6-2.

HUBER CONTINUES CLIMB
Senior Tara Huber (Orefield/Parkland) continues to climb up the Huskies all-time record books, now standing 10th in goals with 26 and ninth in points with 69. She needs one more goal to tie Katie Walczuk (2008-11) for ninth on the goals list and three points to tie Tiffany Burrier (1990-92) for eighth with 72. Huber also ranks among the BU all-time leaders in assists, ranking 10th with 13.

'D' LOCKS DOWN OPPOSITION
Wednesday's shutout victory was the second of the season for the Huskies, who also registered a shutout win over Davis & Elkins, 3-0, on Sept. 26. The Huskies' defense has now allowed either one goal or none to opponents in seven matches this year.
