It also the sixth most goals in program history for a single season and ranks second in Division II for 2024. Senior forward

Marika Svensson was tied for the top scorer among freshmen as she finished the regular season with 10 goals—West Virginia State's Sara Paris Filter also had 10 goas in her first season. And senior defender
Leah Fleming was the MEC's top-scoring defender, netting eight goals.
REVENGE ON THE MIND
CU dropped a 2-1 decision at Fairmont State at the beginning of October. Junior forward
Caitlin Webster netted Concord's goal in the 32

Ailsa Swinburne led CU in shots with four while Webster tallied three. Freshman goalkeeper

MEET ME IN THE TOURNAMENT
Sunday's game will be the third time since 2019 that Concord and Fairmont State face each other in the MEC Tournament. CU has won each of the previous two—in the 2019 MEC Championship and in the 2021 MEC Semifinals. The game three years ago featured a goal in the 88
th minute as the Mountain Lions outshot FSU, 14-6. And both of Concord's goals in the 2019 championship game came in the final 26 minutes. Concord is seeking to reach its seventh MEC Semifinal since 2017. Meanwhile, Fairmont State is seeking a similar trend by advancing to its fifth conference semifinal since 2019.
