DAVIDSON, N.C. - The Davidson women's soccer team returns to Alumni Stadium in search of its first Atlantic 10 win of the season Sunday against Massachusetts.Â
*MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS GAME - Sunday's match will serve as an opportunity for Davidson women's soccer to bring awareness to mental health issues as a whole as well as within the student-athlete community. The game will feature a giveaway item from Hidden Opponent which is an accredited nonprofit and advocacy group dedicated to raising awareness for student-athlete mental health. Through advocacy, education, and support, their goal is to end mental health stigma in sports culture.Â
Additionally, all fans are encouraged to take part in the affirmation table that will be located at the entrance of Alumni Stadium. Feel free to leave an affirmation for someone who might need it and/or take one for yourself!
Still in the early portion of the conference schedule, Davidson enters the weekend 0-2-1 in A-10 play and 3-6-1 overall after suffering a 3-0 loss to Dayton on the road Thursday.Â
Despite the loss, the 'Cats continue to exhibit solid defensive efforts having allowed the fifth-fewest amount of goals so far this year with 11.Â
Leading the defensive stand is Emily Smith who in 10 starts is sixth in the conference in goals against average (1.10), seventh in goals allowed (7), eighth in saves (35) and ninth in save percentage (.761).Â
Joining Smith in solid defense are a pair of freshmen who have started all 10 matches in Olivia Bestic and Brooke Roumy. Bestic has also played all but three minutes of a possible 900.Â
Aleia Gisolfi-McCready continues to pace the Davidson offense with five points on two goals and one assist followed by Savannah Pruitt with a pair of goals.Â
SCOUTING UMASS
The Minutewomen arrive at Alumni Stadium 5-3-2 overall and 2-1-0 in the conference.Â
As a team, UMass leads the league in fewest goals allowed with seven while scoring 12 of their own this year.Â
The Minutewomen offense is led by Ashley Lamond with 10 points on four goals and two assists and Bella Recinos with seven points on three goals and one assist.Â
Starting goalkeeper Bella Mendoza is first in the A-10 in goals allowed (7), second in GAA (0.77), third in save percentage (.844) and seventh in saves (38).Â
