Wildcats Face A-10 Newcomer Loyola Chicago Thursday
9/28/2022 2:29:00 PM | Women's Soccer
A visit to new league member Loyola Chicago is next for the Davidson women's soccer team, which has won its last two Atlantic 10 Conference contests.
Now 9-2-1 overall and 2-2 in the A-10, the Wildcats start their two-match week with the Ramblers at 7 p.m. CST Thursday in Chicago before returning home to host George Washington on Sunday afternoon.
Prior to joining the A-10 this year, Loyola won the last four Missouri Valley Conference titles and earned NCAA Tournament berths each year. Davidson and Loyola have never met in women's soccer.
"They're a very, very good team," said coach Adam Denton. "They have lots of experience, having been to the NCAA Tournament the last four years, and have a lot of returning players. So we know they have experience and quality."
LATEST ON THE 'CATS
Davidson earned two clean sheets last week, notching a 1-0 win over Rhode Island on Sept. 22 and a 3-0 win at St. Bonaventure on Sept. 25.
An own goal was the difference against Rhode Island, while three Wildcats — Alli Jacobson, Remi White and Sophia Caruso — scored goals in a 10-minute span against the Bonnies.
Keeper Mary Grace Bunch made nine saves to lead the defense and earned A-10 Co-Defensive Player of the Week honors. Four of her six saves against Rhode Island came in the final eight minutes.
SCOUTING THE RAMBLERS
Loyola enters Thursday's match 6-3-2 and 2-1 in the league, following a 3-0 win over George Washington last Sunday.
The Ramblers are led by two-time MVC Player of the Year Megan Nemec, who has four goals and three assists. Madeline Barone has four assists to go with two goals and Amanda Cassidy has scored three goals.
Loyola's lone league loss was 3-2 to No. 10 Saint Louis on Sept. 22. In August, the Ramblers tied No. 24 Wisconsin 1-1 in non-conference play.
SCOUTING THE COLONIALS
George Washington takes a 3-2-5 overall record and an 0-2-2 league mark into Thursday's game at Dayton before coming to Alumni Stadium on Sunday.
In the A-10, the Colonials have tied George Mason and Fordham and lost to La Salle and Loyola.
Rachel Sorkenn leads George Washington with six goals.
Davidson is 1-3-3 against the Colonials, having tied the last two meetings.
