CLOSE CALLS
The last two games for the Mountain Lions have resulted in  2-1 score lines as CU erased a 1-0 halftime deficit at West Virginia Wesleyan Wednesday to defeat the Bobcats by a goal. Junior forward Sydney Tucker was responsible for both goals as she registered her second brace of the season. Tucker leads Concord with eight goals this season. Junior forward Nora Voisey tallied her third assist of the season on Tucker's second goal. On Sunday, the Maroon and Gray was unable to rebound from two early goals by West Virginia State as it lost on the road. Freshman midfielder Katie Garratt notched her third goal of the season. Eight of the 15 games for CU this season have been decided by a goal or ended in a tie.

BACK ON TRACK
After Sunday's tough result, Concord seeks a season sweep of Davis & Elkins after winning 5-1 at D&E in the second conference game of the season. Graduate midfielder Michelle Brogden supplied a goal and two assists while sophomore midfielder Reeanna Cook scored one of her five goals this fall to go with an assist. Freshman midfielder Wilma Hedenberg, Voisey and sophomore forward Caitlin Webster also scored in the contest. Since 2019—the last seven games—Concord has outscored Davis & Elkins 26-6. The only Davis & Elkins win in that time came last season, 2-1, in Beckley. CU seeks to remain unbeaten at home this season at 6-0.

MATCHING THE BEST
Sunday will be the second time this season that the Mountain Lions oppose Charleston when the Golden Eagles are nationally-ranked. In September, UC was 17^th in Division II as Concord fell 3-0 on the road. Charleston enters Sunday with a national ranking of ninth. From 2017-21, the Mountain Lions were 8-2-1 against UC, but have lost three of the last four against Charleston. CU did defeat Charleston on the road last season as junior midfielder Leah Fleming scored in the 54^th minute in a 1-0 victory. Sunday will be the fourth time in the last 26 games that Concord takes on a nationally-ranked team after opening the year with Kutztown and playing Frostburg State in October last year.
