NEWS AND NOTES

GOH-ING WELL, THANK YOU

Towson has put together a 11-1-2 start to 2023 and is undefeated through its first nine matches of CAA play.

The Tigers are ninth nationally in won-lost-tied percentage (.857), sixth in assists (41), 12th in points (98), and 13th in goal differential (+25). Towson’s 23 points in the CAA are the most in a season since joining the league.

Nia Christopher is ninth nationally with 27 points this fall, while Jasmine Hamid is 12th with 25.

ARE YOU IN?

Towson is into the CAA Championship field for the second-consecutive year, while Hofstra - the league’s inevitable force of the last half-dozen years - returns for its seventh-consecutive postseason.

Hofstra has won the last two CAA titles and five of the last six, making a run from the No. 8 seed to capture last year’s crown on a 109th-minute game-winner.

POWERING UP

CAA teams picked up a pair of wins over Power 5 opponents in the opening week. Delaware blanked Syracuse, 1-0, in Newark with Raychel Speicher scoring the game-winner. Hofstra followed with a 1-0 win at Rutgers thanks to a late goal by Olivia Pearse.

The win over an ACC opponent was the CAA’s first since Hofstra over Boston College in 2020-21, while the victory over the Big Ten was the league’s first since Drexel beat Maryland in 2018.

MS. WORLDWIDE

CAA programs were well-represented at this summer’s FIFA World Cup. 

UNCW alum Katrina Guillou was part of the Philippines’ first team to play in the World Cup, fellow Seahawk Sydney Schneider suited up as a goalkeeper for Jamaica, and Hofstra’s Diane Caldwell represented Ireland.

TEAM NOTES

Alyssa Tucker scored in the 81st and 89th minute of Campbell’s comeback win Thursday; she is the first two-time Rookie of the Week in the CAA this year.

Delaney Dawes’ game-tying goal on Sunday was the 12th of her Charleston career.

Delaware’s Kyla Burns leads the nation with a .936 save percentage.

Elise Duffy scored her first goal of the season in Drexel’s 1-1 draw Sunday.

Ashlee Brehio’s goal to earn a draw vs. Drexel was the ninth in her two seasons at Elon.

Alexis Deveaux has made a nation-leading 144 saves for Hampton this season.

Hofstra has clinched a CAA Championship berth for a seventh-straight season.

Cassie Coster’s eight shutouts for Monmouth lead the CAA and rank fifth nationally.

UNCW took the lead for good 23 seconds into the contest on Thursday on an Issy Bryant goal.

Northeastern’s Jessie Hunt is tied for the league lead with eight assists this fall.

Reilly Rich has put 57.6% of her shot attempts on frame for Stony Brook, a mark that leads the CAA.

Towson ranks in the top 20 nationally in WLT percentage (.857, 9th), assists (41, 6th), points (109, 12th), and goal differential (+25, 13th).

William & Mary’s seven goals on Sunday were their most in a game since 2003.
