BEYOND THE BOX SCORE
- The Eagles celebrated 10 seniors from the past two years before the game. Last year's senior class of Delaney Wilhelm, Jennifer Freeman, Brooke Lonigro, Alyssa Lemirande, and Bria Lemirande came back and joined this year's senior class of Pikulyk, Pahl, Shane, Lexi Walter, and Annika Lundgren. That group has helped make the Eagles program what it is today.

- Edgewood College started the season 0-3 in NACC play and has now won 11-of-12 in conference play. The Eagles are in fourth place in the league standings but could secure the No. 3 seed with a win in their final league game.

UP NEXT
- The final regular season game will come Tuesday when Edgewood College hosts Benedictine University. The winner will be at least the No. 3 seed in the upcoming NACC Tournament. The game is set to start at 7 p.m. inside the Todd Wehr Edgedome.
