Notes

Yesterday, Monroe College took down undefeated Schoolcraft College 2-1 in a game held at Owens. Their lone loss is to Monroe Community College. Both Monroe schools are from the state of New York as Monroe College is located in the Bronx, while Monroe C.C. is from Rochester.

After not recording a goal through the team's first 13 games, Kreger now has two goals in the past two games. Her goal today was unassisted.

Randolph picked up her third double digit save match of the year today. She previously had 15 vs Schoolcraft on Oct. 19 and 12 vs Monroe C.C. on Aug. 28. Furthermore, she now has 103 saves this year, just 18 away from tying her single season record from last year. With 19 more saves, she would hold the single game, single season and career saves record for Owens women's soccer.
