- With her six goals today Morrall now has 51 scores on the season became the first player since Lauren Brenner '20 in 2019 to score 50 goals in a season as Brenner had 50.
- The 18 goals was a season-high as the previous best was 17 in the season opening win at FDU-Florham.
- Washington, who clinched a spot in the conference tournament with its 7-6 win at Swarthmore, will be participating in its 11th consecutive Centennial Tournament, the longest streak by a WC team that must qualify for the CC Tournament and 14th overall.  The run began in 2011 and there was no conference tournament in 2020 or 2021 due to COVID.
- The Shorewomen will host Ursinus, who secured the five seed with its 17-15 win over visiting Dickinson earlier today.  Both teams finished 5-4 in the Centennial, but the Shorewomen earned the four seed due to their 15-9 head-to-head win on March 25 at home.  The other semifinal on Wednesday will be six seeded Muhlenberg at three seed Haverford.  The winner of Ursinus-Washington will play at top seed Gettysburg on Friday and the victor of Muhlenberg-Haverford will visit Franklin & Marshall, the two seed, on Friday.  The final is on Sunday at the highest remaining seed.
