Regular-season meeting
DEVILS 1, Gettysburg 0 (9/23/26)
Dickinson will head into the matchup with a win over the Bullets already in the books as Ava Prisco netted the lone marker with just over ten minutes left in the match to pick up a 1-0 road victory. On the day the Red and White held a 6-2 edge in shots with chances coming from Kaitlyn Arnold, Emma Barrabee, Joelle Ma, Bridget Merkel and Prisco. Pico Gray in the DC cage was not busy at all as she did not need to record a save over the course of 90 minutes.

Schedule overview
The Red and White opened the season with three straight home wins over Juniata College (5-0), Waynesburg University (2-1) and Pitt-Greensburg (4-0), before drawing the next two fixtures with the University of Scranton and SUNY Brockport. Following a 1-0 defeat to York College of Pennsylvania, the Devils notched conference wins over Ursinus College (6-0), Gettysburg College (1-0), Washington College (4-2) and Susquehanna University (3-0).

Home sweet home
Dickinson has turned the Miller Memorial Field pitch into an absolute fortress this season, posting a solid 6-1-3 mark in Carlisle with the lone setback coming on October 28th to Johns Hopkins. Over the last three seasons the Red and White have been a tough out at home, going 22-3-4 during that stretch.
Senior leadership
The group of Elizabeth Allen, Norah Anderson, Ava Burgess, Ava Cefaloni, Lauren Flowers, Norah Heacock, Bridget Merkel and Ava Prisco have provided vital leadership both on and off the pitch for head coach Ted Zingman, which has been key to the Devils success.

The Battlefield report (8-6-3, 4-4-2 Centennial)
Gettysburg struggled early on as they began the year with a 0-0 draw against #20 Misericordia University, before dropping matches to Shenandoah University (2-4) and Farmingdale State (0-1). They then collected wins in three of their next five contests, knocking off Roanoke College (1-0), Elizabethtown College (2-0) and Muhlenberg College (2-0). Following a pair of shutouts versus Hood College and Salisbury University they were blanked 2-0 by nationally ranked and top-seeded Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. Triumphs over Bryn Mawr College as well as Franklin and Marshall College had the Blue and Orange feeling good, but defeats at the hands of Ursinus College and Swarthmore College had the Bullets on the outside looking in entering the final week. However, a draw on the home pitch against McDaniel College and a 1-0 road win in Chestertown, Maryland over Washington College allowed GC to hurdle Ursinus on the last day and earn a chance to play on.
