After an unbelievable comeback win at Quinnipiac on Saturday, the Niagara women's lacrosse team is looking to keep the momentum alive with Marist coming to town. A win by the Purple Eagles would vault them over the Red Foxes and into a playoff position with three games to play.
 
Niagara Notes

• In their last game on April 6, the Purple Eagles turned a nine-goal deficit on its head to shock the Bobcats in an exhilarating, last-minute, 15-14 victory. Niagara outscored Quinnipiac, 11-3, in the second half to steal a much-needed conference win.
• With 9.77 draw controls per game, MacCheyne has the third-best rate of all Division I players. She has now won 127 this year, which broke the previous program single-season record of 111 set by Alexandra Higgins in 2017. If MacCheyne continues to hold this pace, she will surpass the existing MAAC record of 7.16 draw controls per game set in 2017 by Marist's Hailey Wagner.
• Rachel MacCheyne scored six times in the effort to jump into a tie for 13th in the country in terms of goals per game (3.54). Should she maintain that clip, she will finish among the top 20 scoring seasons ever by a MAAC athlete.
