LAST TIME OUT:

• AIC came out on the wrong end of a 13-4 decision against Saint Rose on Tuesday, March 27.
• Freshman attacker Rawill Herrera scored three of AIC's four goals.
• The Chargers also played Tuesday, losing 9-4 against Molloy.
• Christian Hernandez and Marcos Pierce each scored twice in the setback.

LAST TIME THEY MET:

• AIC lost 17-7 to Dominican on March 7, 2017 at Abdow Field.
• Senior attacker Jack McIntyre netted four goals for AIC in the loss, while Nick D'Alessandro had a five-goal, four-assist game for the Chargers.

SCOUTING THE CHARGERS:

• Dominican may be winless, but they have been competitive, with close losses against Palm Beach Atlantic, Franklin Pierce, and the recent game against Molloy.
• Pierce is the leading scorer as well as top playmaker, but Michael Reyes has also netted seven goals in seven games; Chris Heegan and Christian Hernandez also each average at least one point per game.
• Matthew Sandelier has been the team's primary starter in goal, but Joseph Fabiilli has started twice and appeared in three other games as well; the Chargers are likely to switch goalkeepers mid-game, as John Rooney also has three appearances in net for Dominican this season.

HISTORICAL RECORD:

• Since the two teams first met on March 25, 2009, the Yellow Jackets are 1-6 against Dominican.
• AIC's lone win in the all-time series was a 14-10 victory on April 9, 2014; Justin Bard and Bobby Spano each collected four goals and three assists.

THREE-IN-FIVE STRETCH:

• Thanks to a make-up game, the Yellow Jackets play three times in five days.
• The remaining game in the month of March is a visit on Saturday, March 31 to defending regional champion and national No. 2 Merrimack.
