The Concord University women's soccer team will travel to play at Davis
& Elkins 6:00 p.m. Monday in the first round of the 2012 West
Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference tournament, the league
office announced Thursday.
The Mountain Lions earned a berth into the conference tournament thanks
to their 2-1 victory over Seton Hill Oct. 24 at Anderson Field. Both
Concord and Seton Hill finished with 16 points in conference play, but
CU held the tiebreaker over the Griffins (head-to-head result). CU
enters the tournament as the sixth seed.
Concord finished the regular season with an overall record of 9-6-2 and
5-4-1 in WVIAC contests. The Mountain Lions will bring an eight-game
winning streak into their game against the Senators, who eliminated CU
in the first round of last season's tournament. The eight consecutive
wins are a program-record.
Earlier this season, CU defeated Davis & Elkins 2-1 behind goals
from the senior duo of Erika Hoff and Fiona Mearns. Since 2009, Concord
is 2-4 against Davis & Elkins.
The Concord women's soccer program is 15-12 all-time in WVIAC Tournament
contests, including 4 wins vs. Davis & Elkins. CU won its only
conference tournament championship in 2002.
Concord has been led this season by the scoring duo of freshman Kari
Simon (eight goals) and sophomore Alyanna James (five goals). The pair
has combined to score 61.9 percent of CU's goals. Simon, who has also
contributed three assists, ranks fourth in the WVIAC in points (19) and
fifth in goals scored. James is fifth in the conference in assists at
four.
Other goal scorers for Concord include Mearns (3), Hoff (2), freshman
Chloe Barber (2) and sophomore Stacey Calder (1). Hoff also has three
assists on the year.
Sophomore goalie Kaitlyn Wasylko has played every minute of Concord's
season, tallying three shutouts, 93 saves, a .790 save percentage and a
Goals Against Average of 1.40. Wasylko ranks second in the WVIAC and
34th in the nation in saves.
Concord and Davis & Elkins will play at Elkins High School.
