THE LEAD
The Chargers will put their unbeaten NE10 record back on the line on Tuesday night when they host Molloy under the lights at DellaCamera Stadium. The four conference wins is the first time the Chargers have won their first four straight in league play, while the two shutouts in that stretch set a program record for a single season. Tuesday night's game against Molloy is scheduled for a 7:00 p.m. start with all of the action available live on the Charger Sports Network on NE10 NOW using the link to the right.

SERIES HISTORY VS MOLLOY
After opening the all-time series with back-to-back losses, the Chargers picked up their first win over their new conference rival in 2019 with a 4-2 decision at DellaCamera Stadium. Tonight's game marks the third straight at DellaCamera, with the lone road game in the series, the very first meeting which came in 2018 and was the first of two meetings that season.

SCOUTING THE CHARGERS
After a scoreless battle through regulation, the Chargers came up on the short end last time out, suffering a 1-0 loss to No. 10 Bloomsburg at DellaCamera Stadium. Despite that loss, New Haven puts an unbeaten record on the line tonight when they host Molloy, an affiliate member of the NE10, with a 4-0 conference record to their credit. For the season, six different players have found the back of the cage in 2021, led by seniors Alexis Rider (Delran, N.J./Delran) and Reilly Bialko (Shickshinny, Pa./Northwest Area) who have scored three and two goals, respectively. Fellow classmate Taylor Geaglone (Enfield, Conn./Enfield) leads the team with two assists, and is one of six players to record at least one helper. In goal, graduate transfer Keira Integlia (Branford, Conn./Branford) put up her best numbers of the season last week, collecting 22 total saves including back-to-back eight save outings against Pace and West Chester. Overall for the year, Integlia has stopped 38 shots.

SCOUTING THE LIONS
Under the direction of a first year coach, the Lions have yet to add a win to their tally in 2021, entering Tuesday night with an 0-4 record, including 0-2 in conference play with shutout losses against AIC and Saint Michael's. The Lions have also had three games postponed in the early weeks of the season. Offensively, the Lions have struggled to find the back of the cage, netting just one goal in their four games, that coming from junior midfielder Kyra Dalli. In goal, Ally Saigh has earned all four starts and made a total of 41 saves on the year.  

INTEGLIA NAMED TO NE10 WEEKLY HONOR ROLL
Following a week where she racked up 22 saves, including back-to-back eight save outings against Pace and West Chester, graduate transfer goalkeeper Keira Integlia (Branford, Conn./Branford) was named to the NE10's weekly honor roll on Monday, September 20. Integlia is the second player to earn the honor after senior Alexis Rider (Delran, N.J./Delran) picked up the distinction last week after a two-goal performance against Saint Michael's.
