FIVE THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW

• In the regular-season meeting between the two programs, Endicott claimed a 3-2 victory on Oct. 9 (BOX SCORE), as Amanda Gilbert (Hopkinton, Mass.) posted a match-high 16 kills to go with a team-best 15 digs.  
• This will be the first NCAA DIII Tournament meeting between the two programs as the Gulls and Beavers have split 14 regular-season matches, 7-7.
• The Gulls qualified for the NCAA Tournament after claiming the program's eighth Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) title, and fourth out of the last five, by taking down Roger Williams by a 3-1 final on Saturday (RECAP).
• The Beavers received an at-large selection to the NCAA Tournament after finishing 22-7 on the season following a 3-2 setback to Springfield in the NEWMAC semifinals. 
• The win over Babson on 10/9 gave Endicott its third win over an opponent who had been nationally ranked during the season, as Babson was No. 22, Bowdoin (3-1) was No. 20, and Tufts (3-2), as the Jumbos got as high as No. 21.
