Fairfield, CT -- Monmouth University's women's lacrosse team travels to face No. 20 Towson University on Saturday at Unitas Stadium in Towson, Md. at 7 p.m.

Monmouth, which is 9-10 overall, won its fourth league title last weekend with a pair of dominating defensive efforts. MU allowed a NEC Tournament record 7 goals, including just three in its NEC Championship match against Mount St. Mary's. The Hawks have won five straight matches coming into the title game, the league's current longest win streak.

Towson (15-3 overall) hosts the NCAA Play In Game after capturing the CAA Tournament Title with a 8-7 victory over James Madison. The Tigers boast one of the top defenses in the country, losing to Johns Hopkins 5-4 in a rivalry match with two of their three losses coming against teams ranked No. 3 in the nation at the time.
