The Ladies are 12-2 and advanced to the final by topping two-time defending tournament champion Denison University, 12-8, Thursday evening. Wooster, the No. 4 seed, pulled off an upset that same night, shocking No. 1-seeded Wittenberg University in the other NCAC semifinal contest. With that win, the Fighting Scots improved their record to 13-4.

Eliza Perry leads the squad with 61 points on 33 goals and 28 assists. Claire Nelson-Johnson has scored 43 times for the Scots and Shelby Stone has 33 goals and a dozen assists.

Sack owns every Kenyon assist record, as well as every NCAC assist record. She has 71 assists this season and 172 for her career. Nichols and Sack both had five-point games in the Ladies' semifinal win over Denison.  Kenyon gets further offensive reinforcements from sophomore Jane Symmes and junior Alex Bair, both 40-goal scorers.
