Winners in two of its past three games, the Red Flash women's soccer team welcomes Mount St. Mary's to Loretto to open up the 2012 Northeast Conference slate.  The two-game stop at the Stokes Soccerplex mark the longest home stand to date for Saint Francis.

The much-improved Mountaineer's 4-3 start to the season matches the best seven-game start in program history.  Mount St. Mary's was also 4-3 to open both the 1994 and 1996 seasons.  The Mount has 14 goals on the year, already surpassing last season's total of 13.

Saint Francis and Mount St. Mary's have faced one common opponent this season in the Bucknell Bison.  The Red Flash defeated the Patriot League team 5-1 on Sept. 9, while the Mountaineers dropped a 2-0 decision on Sept. 11 in Lewisburg.

SFU has won its last four NEC openers.
