Binghamton will be playing for its first win of the season after losing its seventh consecutive game with a 16-6 loss to Albany in its home opener March 31. Against MAAC opponent Marist College, the Bears lost 21-5, on March 27.

Three of Binghamton’s top four scorers are seniors with attacker Danielle Edwards leading the team with 12 goals and 14 points. Classmate Heather Grose is second in goals (8) and points (11) while Anna Riordan has a team-leading five assists to go with eight points.
