Scouting the Explorers

The Explorers look to bounce back from a 3-2 midweek loss at Penn on Wednesday. Mariel Papa drained an early goal on a rebound of a saved Juliana Carfagno shot to give the Explorers an early lead before Penn rattled off three straight. Olivia Shoemaker scored her sixth goal of the season late in the game on a Maddy Tettelbach assist for the final 3-2 score.

Shoemaker leads the team and is third in the Atlantic 10 with 15 points on six goals and three assists. Tettelbach is up to 11 points on four goals and three assists, and Papa rounds out the top three with 10 points on five goals. Carfagno ranks second in the A-10 with six assists this season. Defensively, Olivia Leaman continues to lead the A-10 with four defensive saves and is ranked third nationally in that category.
