DURHAM, N.H. – The University of New Hampshire women's soccer team will begin conference play Sunday, Sept. 27 (2 p.m.) against Binghamton University on Bremner Field.
LAST TIME OUT FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE (2-5-3)
The Wildcats fell 1-0 to Northeastern University (Sept. 20) in double overtime on Bremner Field, to close out non-conference play this season. Senior Caroline Murray (New Canaan, Conn.) led UNH with four shots total. Junior Mimi Borkan (Medfield, Mass.) compiled 11 saves on the day, including five in the first half, to help propel the 'Cats to their sixth overtime contest.
LAST TIME OUT FOR BINGHAMTON (1-7-1)
The Bearcats are coming of a 1-0 loss to Cornell University (Sept. 20) on the road. The game deciding goal came in the 61st minute for the Big Red. For the Bearcats, senior Katherine Corcoran took two shots, half of the team's total. Sophomore goalkeeper Katie Hatziyianis made eight saves on the day.
SCOUTING THE WILDCATS
Sophomore Brooke Murphy (Monson, Mass.) has led the team in points since the season began. Currently, the Massachusetts Native has accumulated 10 points on four goals and two assists. Second in points is senior Gabrielle Sloan (Stow, Mass.) who has totaled two goals (four points). Sloan recorded both goals back-to-back against Lafayette (Sept. 13) and at Harvard (Sept. 17). Murray, who led the team in assists last season, has three points this year on three assists. Borkan has started in all 10 games thus far with 13 goals allowed, a 1.21 goals against average and 54 saves.
SCOUTING THE BEARCATS
Freshman Julianne Johnston and senior Stephani Church are tied for the team lead with four points, two goals apiece. Junior Leighann Bennett and freshman Sierra Barr have each recorded an assist this season, tied for second in points with one each. Hatziyianis, who holds a 1-7-1 record, has started all eight games played with 16 goals allowed, 1.97 goals against average and 48 saves.
ALL-TIME RECORD VS. BINGHAMTON
UNH holds a slim 6-5-6 lead over Binghamton throughout the years. In 2014, New Hampshire pulled out a 1-0 victory at Binghamton late in the season to start a three-game winning streak. The two teams clashed in the America East Playoffs as well, where the Wildcats defeated the Bearcats in penalty kicks. The last loss for New Hampshire was in 2011, where it fell 1-0 to Binghamton.
TO OPEN CONFERENCE PLAY
In the last five seasons, the Wildcats are 4-0-1 to open conference play. UNH defeated the University of Vermont 1-0 last season at UVM. From 2010 to 2012, New Hampshire pulled out three consecutive victories to open league play. Lastly, in 2013 UNH recorded a draw with Binghamton at Bremner Field. The 'Cats last fell in an America East opener in 2009, when they fell 2-0 to Stony Brook University at home.
2014 CONFERENCE RECORD
New Hampshire put together a 4-2-2 America East record last season, including three straight wins to end the season, all shutouts. Wins over Vermont, Binghamton, UMass Lowell and Stony Brook helped secure a third seed for the America East Playoffs.
DUE NEXT
UNH will hit the road to take on Vermont on Thursday, Oct. 1 (3 p.m.) at Virtue Field, for the second conference game this season.
