EMMITSBURG, Md. (September 27, 2024) – Mount St. Mary's women's soccer looks to collect a second consecutive Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) win as they travel to Connecticut for a contest with Sacred Heart Saturday.
 
MOUNT UPDATE
 
Sydoney Clarke's first half score on a thru ball and a second half olimpico from Nathalie Mejia, along with a clean sheet of six saves from Adelaide Paredes, gave the Mountaineers a 2-0 win over Marist last Saturday. The team netted the victory despite being outshot by the Red Foxes. All four wins for the Mount this season have come via the shutout.
 
The victory moves the Mountaineers into a three-way tie for seventh place with Iona and Merrimack. The top eight teams move onto the MAAC Championship this season with the expanded field of 13 teams.
 
SCOUTING THE PIONEERS
 
Sacred Heart picked up their first MAAC points with a draw against Manhattan in their most recent match but are still seeking their first win this season. The Pioneers concede a little over two goals per contest while scoring just under one goal per game. Morgan Bovardi, Shea Kelleher, and Rylee McGee have each posted two goals for SHU.  
 
THE ALL-TIME SERIES
 
In a history going back to 1998, Sacred Heart has the upper hand on Mount St. Mary's, winning 16 of 24 matches. The Mount has taken seven meetings, including the latest one by a 3-1 final in September 2021. Hannah Cooksey, Isabella Wendler and Maggie Wishart provided first half goals for a decisive win.
 
LOOKING AHEAD
 
A home midweek contest awaits the Mountaineers on Wednesday (Oct. 2), welcoming Manhattan for a 4 p.m. kickoff.
