Wilkes clinched the sixth and final playoff spot with Wednesday's 1-0 win versus Drew as Maura Hensel scored the lone goal of the game in the second minute.

The Royals captured a 4-1 victory over Wilkes in the regular season meeting between the two teams on Oct. 11 as Redding scored a pair of goals. Scranton scored three goals in the final six plus minutes of the game to break a 1-1 tie at the time.

Redding (16 goals, 39 points) and Abraldes (11 goals, 29 points) rank as the top two in the conference in both categories, while also sharing the conference lead with seven assists.

Sophomore forward Annie Shaw (Exton, Pa./Villa Maria Academy) has also added 18 points for Scranton on seven goals and four assists.

Defensively, the Royals have posted eight shutouts behind junior defender Lauren Franco (West Chester, Pa./B. Reed Henderson) who has also added a goal and an assist and junior goalie Gianna Travia (Havertown, Pa./Cardinal O'Hara) leads the Landmark in goals against average (0.68).

Wilkes is led by Morgan Hermanofski offensively with 19 points on eight goals and three assists to go along with six goals from Olivia Gayoski.
