The Wildcats are 11-3 overall this season and 5-2 in conference play. The squad is led by senior forward Begum Malali, who is ranked third in the country in both points per-game (3.29) and goals per-game (1.43).

Philadelphia is tied for ninth in the New England Region and is currently 8-4 overall and 6-0 in the CACC after winning five of its last six games. The Lady Rams, the defending CACC Tournament Champions, have not allowed a goal in conference play and have outscored their opponents 20-0 through six matches.
