The State of New Hampshire

The Wildcats are coming off back-to-back overtime wins, the first in program history last weekend.
Both game-winners were scored by junior transfer Ally Reynolds (Weymouth, Mass.).
The Wildcats are now 2-0-0 to start the season for the second straight year (went 11-6-1 in 2017).
New Hampshire was ranked the number one team in the America East in their annual preseason poll that was released on August 6th.
The Wildcats return 19 players with six incoming freshmen and one junior transfer for a total of 26 players on the 2018 roster.
Among those returners is reigning America East Goalkeeper of the Year Mia Neas (Old Saybrook, Conn.) who touted an 11-5-1 record in 2017 after seeing action in only three games prior to that season. Neas will serve as one of the two captains on the team this season, along with junior Caitlyn Keenan (Bow, N.H.).
The Wildcats also return All-Conference first-teamer Gaby Dorsey (Hubertus, Wisc.) who tallied 10 points on four goals and two assists, and All-Conference second-teamer Kaylan Williams (Marion, Ind.) who had five goals and an assist for 11 points last season.
The defensive core remains intact for the 'Cats, who return Keenan, Maddie Murdick (Burlington, Conn.) and Caroline Wysocki (Agawam, Mass.), whom each tallied an assist last season, while holding their opponents to just 0.94 goals per game.
All-Rookie team members Sofia Borea (Oakville, Ontario) and Francesca Picicci (North Massapequa, N.Y.) got a great start to their UNH careers in the 2017 season and look to fill the holes left by some graduating members. Borea tallied one assist in her rookie season, filling in at the midfield spot, while Picicci worked her way up to a starting role and tallied three goals and two assists in her freshman season.

Scouting UMass

The Minutemen (Amherst, Mass.) come into the weekend with a 1-1-0 record.
UMass fell to Siena on Friday afternoon, 2-1, with the game-winning goal coming in the 89th minute.
UMass won its season opener with Maine, 2-0 at home. Game two took place at Central Connecticut State; the Blue Devils defeated the Minutemen 1-0.
UMass has three goals on the season, scored by freshman Lauren Bonavita, senior Paige Kozlowski, and most recently, sophomore Kelly Marra.
In net, the Minutemen have looked to senior Peyton Ryan in all three contests; she's 1-2-0 with a .769save percentage and 1.00 GAA.
