STORYLINE
The fifth-ranked Bloomsburg University field hockey team returns to action for the first time since September 3 as they head to Seton Hill to battle the Griffins in a non-conference contest. The Huskies enter the game with a 2-0 overall record while Seton Hill has dropped each of its first two contests of the young season.
 
ALL-TIME SERIES
Bloomsburg and Seton Hill have met 13 times in the all-time series with the Huskies earning victories in all 13 of those contests. Last season, the Huskies earned a 3-1 road victory at Seton Hill, jumping out to a 3-0 lead before the Griffins ruined the shutout bid with ten seconds left in regulation. Bloomsburg held a slim, 11-10, margin in shot attempts over the course of the contest. Hannah Barnard (Vestal, N.Y./Vestal) earned the victory in goal, playing the first 61 minutes before giving way to Dana Sheply (Maple Shade, N.J./Maple Shade) to close out the win.
 
SCOUTING BLOOMSBURG
Bloomsburg climbed five spots and is now ranked fifth in the country according to the Penn Monto/National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) Division II coaches' poll released earlier this week. The Huskies, who made the biggest jump in the poll, received 99 total points including one first-place vote in this week's rankings. Bloomsburg is off to a 2-0 start on the season after posting a 3-2 shootout victory over now 10th-ranked Lindenwood University on Saturday, September 1 and a 5-0 shutout win over Bellarmine on Monday, September 3, with both of those contests played in Louisville, Kentucky. Senior Tali Wehner (Bloomsburg, Pa./Bloomsburg) provided the game-winner in the sixth round of shootouts against Lindenwood to give the Huskies their season-opening victory.
