The women (12-5, 9-2) are coming off a thrilling 12-10 win over Anderson at home Wednesday which clinched a tie for second in the SAC regular season standings and the #3 seed.  Mackenzie Dorr was spectacular in net for the Wolves, making 18 saves.

It marks the third consecutive the Wolves have earned a top four seed and the second time in the last three seasons they have finished in second place in the SAC.

The matchup is a rematch of last year's quarterfinal game at Setzler Field where the #4 seeded Wolves beat the #5 seeded Cavaliers 19-5.

In this year's first game, the Wolves won a thriller 14-12 in Wise, Va. Newberry jumped out to a 5-0 lead but UVA Wise tied the game at 8-8 and it was still 13-12 before Trysten Burns scored the clinching goal with 1:24 remaining.  Emma Jobs scored four goals and Burns added a hat-trick.

The Wolves are looking to advance to the SAC Tournament semifinals for a fourth consecutive season.

Jobs leads the Wolves and is fifth in the South Atlantic Conference with 50 goals, 6 assists and 56 points and Serena Elias has 38 goals, 4 assists and 42 points.  Both Jobs (107) and Elias (103) have scored at least 100 goals in their Newberry careers. 

The men (10-6, 7-3) are looking to sweep Wingate in the season series after beating the Bulldogs earlier this year for the first time ever 14-13 on March 19 at Wingate.

The Wolves used a strong first quarter to jump out to a 6-2 lead before the Bulldogs rallied to tie the game twice in the fourth quarter at 11-11 and 1-13.  Scott Williams scored the game winning goal with 2:52 remaining to secure the victory.  Williams and Gage Vigar each had a hat-trick and Ben McMullen made 13 saves.

This marks the second consecutive season the Wolves have hosted a home tournament game and entered as the #4 seed, defeating #5 Anderson last year 20-14 at Setzler Field.

Newberry is attempting to advance to the SAC Tournament semifinals for a third consecutive season.

Freshman Liam Vollans leads the Wolves with 40 goals, 18 assists and 52 points followed by Vigar with 27 goals, 30 assists and 57 points and
Shane Halliwell with 28 goals, 26 assists and 54 points.

If both teams win they will travel to Limestone Wednesday for semifinal matchups with the Saints.
