The Youngstown State women’s soccer team (2-1-1) seeks its first three-game winning streak in school history when it hosts Ursuline College, Friday, Sept. 2, at 3 p.m. at Stambaugh Stadium. The Guins also visit Canisius, Sunday, Sept. 4, at 2 p.m.

The Guins are coming off two straight victories, a 3-1 win over the Virginia Military Institute on Aug. 26, and a 1-0 overtime win over Robert Morris on Aug. 28.

In just her first four college games, freshman Jade Flory has made a significant impact on the Penguins. Flory leads the team with three goals and seven points. She has scored a goal in the last three contests, including the game-winner in a 1-0 overtime win over Robert Morris on Aug. 28.

Sophomore goalkeeper Ali Viola recorded her first career shutout in the Guins’ 1-0 overtime win over Robert Morris on Aug. 28. Viola owns a record of 2-0-1 with 16 saves and a goals-against average of 0.61.

Just 16 games into her college career, sophomore Allison Ludwig now ranks fifth on the YSU career goals list with 10. She is also just the fifth player in school history to score at least 10 career goals. Last season, Ludwig tied the YSU freshmen record with eight goals.
