Players to Watch

Kayla Veloso-Lima, Robert Morris

As a freshman, Kayla Veloso-Lima has little experience in playing collegiate soccer but she has already made a big impact on this team early in the season. She had one goal and two assists this season so far.

Sheridan Reid, Robert Morris

Sheridan Reid has the most goals on the team with three, and she is just a freshman. She had only three shots on goal and has converted on all of them. Even though her collegiate career is just starting, she has already made a name for herself on the team.

Ellery Winkler, Yale

As a junior, Ellery Winkler has the experience to lead the team to victory. She had the second-most goals on the team with three and the most assists with three as well. She is a big threat to any team she faces not just offensively, but mentally.

Aerial Chavarin, Yale

As one of the only seniors on the team, Aerial Chavarin leads the team in goals with four, but she also has the most time on the field as well.

Prediction

I think the Bulldogs will take this game against the Colonials. The final score will be 3-0. The Colonials head back to Ohio to face the Akron Zips (2-4) on Thursday, September 19, at 7 p.m.
