Additionally, Sunday's match against the Colonials will be the team's annual Breast Cancer Awareness day. Fans are asked to wear pink to Rudd Field in support of breast cancer awareness and those battling the disease.

Defensively, keeper Cassidy Babin has started all nine matches with a 1.59 goals-against-average and a 0.750 save percentage with three shutouts to her credit.
Despite playing nine games this season, the weekend's set of matches will just be the third home appearance for the Minutewomen. UMass is 1-1-0 on Rudd Field with a win over Maine and a loss to Central Michigan.
George Mason enters the weekend with an 8-3-0 overall record and a 2-0-0 start in league play. The Patriots are led by Sarah Hardison who has seven goals and two assists for 16 points.
