HOBOKEN, N.J. (October 11, 2013) – Stevens Institute of Technology will honors its field hockey seniors prior to the team's Empire 8 matchup against St. John Fisher College Saturday afternoon.
 
The game is set for a 1 p.m. start and senior day will begin at approximately 12:45 p.m. at the De Baun Athletic Complex. For those unable to attend, all the action – including the pregame ceremony – will be broadcast live at www.Empire8.TV.
 
Six members of the current roster are playing in their final season wearing Stevens' cardinal and gray – back Katie Achilles (Portsmouth, N.H.), forward Marguerite Chavez (Oceanport, N.J.), forward Rachel Chavez (Oceanport, N.J.), midfielder Chelsea Cresci (Wilmington, Del.), back Grace Ridge (Moorestown, N.J.) and back Megan Traub (Berkeley Heights, N.J.).
 
Stevens heads into Saturday's game with an overall record of 7-4 and a conference mark of 4-0. The Ducks are atop in the Empire 8 standings and control their own destiny in terms hosting the E8 Tournament scheduled for November 9 and 10 at the regular-season champ.
 
Fisher is 2-1 in the conference (6-6 overall), tied for second place with Utica College. The Cardinals lone conference loss came at the hands of the Pioneers so a Stevens win would go a long way towards locking up the No. 1 seed in the tournament.
 
The Ducks are coming off a 5-4 non-conference loss at SUNY New Paltz Wednesday, while St. John Fisher fell 5-0 to SUNY Oneonta Wednesday as well.
 
Entrance to the game is free for all Stevens students, staff and faculty with ID. General admission is $5. All Duck fans that attend the game will receive a free t-shirt (while supplies last).
