The Panthers will look to complete their winning streak in the season finale on Saturday, attempting to run off six games in a row for the ninth time in program history.

Eastern’s winning streak began after dropping the first two games of the season in rugby sevens, and since then, the women’s rugby squad has outscored its opponents 364-62.

Olympic hopeful Lauren Doyle should be able to participate in this game, which would be her final of her Eastern career.

Over her four years, she has totaled 534 points, which is second on the all-time list behind Samantha Manto. She also ranks second in Eastern history with trys, totaling 90 over her career.

Sophmore center Madison Kissner will look to close out her sophomore season on a high note as she looks to improve on her impressive season numbers.

Kissner continues to lead the team in trys (23) and points (115), while her 28 runs over 20-yards are eight shy of breaking the single-season record.

With rugby fifteens rules back in play for this match, it is possible sophomore Kim Youhas will handle the kicking duties once again. Youhas is currently 23-of-43 on the year.

If the trend of the last two games continues, however, then the drop-kick specialist Carissa Burge will take over the kicking job for the final match of the season.

As it is the first meeting between these two programs in their history, neither team knows what to expect. Eastern head coach Frank Graziano hopes the team can continue its momentum after winning its fifth game in a row last Saturday.

“I have very little information on (Georgia Tech),” Graziano said. “We are going into the game a little bit unknown. We will just stick to what we have been doing well and hopefully we get a nice win.”

Game-time is 11 a.m. at Georgia Tech’s home field in Atlanta.
