Eryka McIntyre has started each of the last six matches for the Tigers in the defensive midfield. She has played in all 43 matches since the beginning of her collegiate careers.
The Tigers have some experience in the starting XI with Blythe Beldner, Cassidy Nurnberger, and Momola Adesanmi. The trio combine for 206 appearances over their careers, led by Adesanmi with 82.
