Helping #9 Merrimack (8-5, 3-1 NE-10) to a 2-1 week, the team’s only loss came to #5 UMass-Lowell, 2-1 on Tuesday afternoon. Later in the week, Daugherty fueled her team to a pair of 5-3 wins over Southern Connecticut and American International. With the wins, Merrimack swept the season series against both Southern Connecticut and American International.

As of Tuesday, Daugherty led all conference players in points (32) and assists (12) through 13 games. She also ranks fourth in the Northeast-10 in goals (10) while leading all freshmen in that category.

The Warriors look to improve upon their No. 9 National Ranking in the Kookaburra/NFHCA Division II National Coaches Poll against Assumption on Saturday, October 3 in Worcester at 4:00 PM.
