CELEBRATE THE SENIORS
Prior to Sunday's contest, head coach Luke Duffy and the women's soccer program will honor ten seniors: goalkeeper Hanna Cooper, midfielder Anna Davis, defender Leah Fleming, forward Emma Landolfo, midfielder Taylor Leach, defender Emma Ring, defender Carly Rohrbach, defender Olivia Shollenberger, forward Sydney Tucker and forward Nora Voisey. The trio of Davis, Fleming and Voisey have combined to play in more than 150 games with Fleming appearing in 63 games, Davis 60 and Voisey 56. Fleming has eight career goals and 10 assists. Voisey has racked up 10 goals and nine assists. Tucker was CU's leading goal scorer last season with 12 scores. Ring has played and started in 28 of a possible 29 games in her two years at Concord after transferring from Wingate. And Shollenberger, an East Stroudsburg transfer, has played in 28 games the last two years, including 21 starts. Rohrbach played in four games in 2024.

MILESTONES AHEAD
The next victory for Duffy will be his 100th career. Already the all-time winningest coach for the women's soccer program at CU, Duffy trails only Frostburg State's Brian Parker (282 wins) for most wins among active MEC head coaches. Meanwhile, graduate defender Olivia Bekeleski became one of eight players in program history with 80 career games played Wednesday at Fairmont State. By playing the remaining 10 regular-season games, Bekeleski would be one of two players to appear in 90 career games at CU.

LOTS OF GOALS
The Mountain Lions posted nine goals in a win over Salem last fall while not allowing the Tigers to take a shot in the game. Davis and Fleming each had a goal and an assist. Other active CU players to score in the contest were sophomore midfielder Katie Garratt, sophomore forward Payton Harvey and junior forward Caitlin Webster. The nine goals scored by Concord were the most since finding the back of the net 10 times against Alderson Broaddus at the end of the 2021 season.

KEEP THE STREAK
Concord only owns a five-game series advantage (17-12-4) versus Wheeling, but has won eight straight games over the Cardinals dating back to the 2017 season. Concord rolled to a 5-0 win over WU last season at home. Bekeleski and Fleming each chipped in a goal. Voisey scored one of her three goals in 2023 against Wheeling, and Tucker added a goal. There was no shortage of offense in 2022 between Concord and WU as the game featured nine goals and 41 shots in a 6-3 Mountain Lions' win.
