Loretto, Pa. – The Saint Francis women's soccer team (4-6-3, 2-0-1 NEC) looks to stay unbeaten in NEC play on Sunday, Oct. 7 when it welcomes Mount St. Mary's (1-6-3, 0-0-2 NEC) at noon.

Scouting Mount St. Mary's
 
Mount St. Mary's has recorded a pair of 1-1 draws to open conference play but has won just one of its first 10 matches. Senior midfielder Kayla Hughes has been a bright spot with four goals. Freshman Maddie Tchou has chipped in with two goals and an assist. The Mountaineers are ninth in the conference in goals allowed at 2.20 per game.
 
Series History
 
Saint Francis leads the series 17-9-1 and has won the last eight meetings including a 3-1 win in Emmitsburg last season.
 
Comeback Kids
 
The Red Flash trailed in both second halves of its NEC road contests last weekend before storming back in both matches to go 1-0-1 and record four points. Trailing 2-1 at the half at Sacred Heart, senior Sara Suler (Hermitage, Pa./Hickory) and junior Alyssa McGhee (Altoona, Pa./Bishop Guilfoyle) scored second half goals for the 3-2 win. SFU had its backs against the wall yet again on Sunday but was bailed out by an 88th minute free kick from sophomore Mariana Jaleca (Sebtubal, Portugal/) in a 1-1 draw.
 
NEC Unbeatens
 
Sunday's game will feature two of the four remaining unbeaten teams in the NEC. CCSU sits atop the standings at 3-0 followed by SFU and Bryant at 2-0-1. The Red Flash haven't lost a match to a conference opponent in its last seven tries.
 
Flair For the Dramatic
 
Junior Alyssa McGhee (Altoona, Pa./Bishop Guilfoyle) is enjoying another fantastic season as SFU's leading point getter with 11 on four goals and three assists. Although her stats are impressive, her impact has been even greater as she has come through in the biggest moments. Three of her four goals have been game-winners, tied for the most in the conference.
