Women’s Soccer Games of the Week (10/10)
#7 Notre Dame (9-2-1, 5-1-1 ACC) at #1 Virginia (12-0, 6-0 ACC), Thursday, 7 ET, ACC Digital Network
The Irish are coming off of only their second loss of the season after losing to Miami last weekend 2-0. Notre Dame has fared quite well in its first ACC season, as four of its five conference wins have been by shutout. The team has outscored its opponents 30-7 and is led by Lauren Bohaboy's six goals. Morgan Andrews and Cari Roccaro's have four goals.
Virginia comes in as only one of five teams with no losses or ties. This is the last of a three-game home stand before the Cavs go on the road for a three-game trip through North Carolina. Virginia has outscored its opponents 40-7, including allowing only two goals in the second half, and outshot its opponents 285-66. Makenzy Doniak leads the team with 10 goals, while Morgan Brian is second with eight and a team-high eight assists.
#2 UCLA (10-1-1, 2-0-1 PAC 12) at #13 Stanford (9-1-1, 2-1, Pac-12), Thursday, 7:30 PT, Pac-12 Network
UCLA comes in on a stretch where it hasn't lost since a 1-0 setback on September 6th to North Carolina. The squad had won six in a row before tying Arizona State last weekend. In that stretch, the Bruins have outscored their opponents 13-2, including five shutouts. Darian Jenkins is the team's offensive leader with eight goals. No other Bruin has more than three. Katelyn Rowland has made 33 saves this season.
Stanford comes in after losing its first match of the year, a shocking 1-0 loss to ASU. Like its opponents, the Cardinal has one primary goal scorer, Taylor Uhl, who has 10 goals. However, she is supplemented by Courtney Verloo, who has six goals and five assists. While Jane Campbell has been the primary goalie, Emily Oliver has played in three matches, starting all of them and racking up over 250 minutes.
