Monmouth prepped for their upcoming league tournament by facing three scholarship schools at the McKendree Tournament last weekend.
     
The Scots dropped their opener to Salem International 18-10 on Saturday. Monmouth trailed 3-2 after the first quarter and 8-7 at the half before the Tigers began to open up the offense with a fourth-quarter flurry to offset a six-goal effort from Becca Dabrowski.
     
Day 2 opened with a 14-7 loss to host McKendree. Monmouth never led in the game after the Bearcats took a quick 3-0 lead.
     
The weekend finished with a 13-3 loss to Mercyhurst. The Lakers inched ahead of the Scots in the first quarter and kept Monmouth at their lowest total score of the season.
     
Monmouth will meet Connecticut College Friday in the first round of the CWPA Championship Tournament.
