SCOUTING FERRIS STATE
The Bulldogs enter the week on a complete high. Ferris State picked up an emphatic 7-0 victory over Roosevelt, putting up the most amount of goals in a game all season on the Lakers. The Bulldogs will look to ride that momentum heading into Thursday's match.
Ferris State's offense is powered by Katherine Welch who leads the Bulldogs this season in goals with five. She has also added six assists to lead the team with 16. Welch started her goal scoring ways when the Rangers and Bulldogs met in Kenosha back in September. Her lone goal of the match would be the difference and would be the first of the season for her.
Defensively the Bulldogs have played Morgan Fillion the most between the posts as she's appeared in 12 matches. However, the Bulldogs started goalkeeper Lauren Kubacki in net in the win over Roosevelt where she picked up the clean sheet. She also got the starting nod against the Rangers back in September.
