McM Storylines
 
Points Needed: The scoreless tie with Austin College on Sunday left the War Hawks one point outside of the SCAC's top four. Trinity has pretty much wrapped up the league regular season title but Southwestern (21 points), Concordia (19), Texas Lutheran (18) and McMurry (17) will work out the remaining three positions this weekend as McMurry and Concordia both play road games at TLU and Southwestern. Three points are awarded for a win and one point for a tie so McMurry likely needs a win and a tie or better this weekend.
 
Shootist: Emily Holland is first or second in most of the SCAC's offensive categories, including her six game-winning goals. That mark is first in the league and fourth nationally. She's also second in the conference with 11 goals and 0.69 goals per game. She is first in the SCAC 4.50 shots per game and 2.25 shots on goal per game.
 
Goals: Along with Emily Holland's 11 goals, McMurry has goals from 13 players this season. Laila Brown has four, Cate Tempelmeyer has three, Jaelynn Portillo has two and Haylie Blakley, Brooklyn Grove, Emery Kirby, McKenna Standifer, Kaylee Worth, Hailey Donaldson, Hailey Graham, Cienna Rodriguez and Grace Singleton have one each.
