A FEW NOTES
 
» This is the first meeting in program history between the Owls and the Bulldogs. 
 
» Siena Gore is the driving force behind the Owls' scoring production. The midfielder was fourth in the nation in 2021 in goals per game and eighth in total goals, while also ranking first in free position goals per game at 2.36. This season, she's currently third in the NCAA in total goals (29), 11th in goals per game (4.14), and 13th in draw controls per game (7.57).
 
» Graduate transfer McKenzie Jackson has accumulated 11 goals and 17 draw controls so far this season. The attacker was a two-time First-Team All-Sunshine State Conference selection for Embry-Riddle.
 
» Junior Campbell Connors is the leading scorer for Butler with 12 goals on the season. Fellow Junior Greer Bireley is the team's leader in assists with a total of 10 to date. Securing possession for the Bulldogs is midfielder Leah Rubino, who has 23 draw controls this season. Protecting the net is Aleigh Monroe, who has 32 saves and a save percentage of .416. 
 
» Kennesaw State cruised in its game against Wofford, scoring the first six goals on the way to a 22-9 win on March 5. The game marked the largest win margin (13 goals) since a 25-3 win at Howard in 2019, and was a season-high in goals for KSU as well.
