W&M joins UCONN as the only other school that has had a 400-win coach in both their women's and men's programs. Former men coach Al Albert won 401 matches in his 33-year career with the Green and Gold.

Weekly Awards
For the first time this season a pair of Tribe women's soccer players were honored with CAA weekly awards, as the College swept the awards. Redshirt junior Grace Smith and redshirt freshman Sarah Segan earned the player of the week and rookie of the week awards, respectively. Smith made 13 saves in a pair of shutouts last week, while Segan scored the game-winning goal in the match at VCU.

Segan Striking Early and Often
Freshman Sarah Segan has gotten on the scoresheet seven times this season, and five of the seven goals have come in the first half. Segan registered a goal in the 10th minute against East Carolina, in the second against Maryland, the 27-minute against VCU, the sixth against Marshall, and the 14th minute against James Madison. Segan has scored five goals in the Tribe's last six matches, and is ranked second in the league with her seven goals.

Too Close for Comfort
All but four of the Tribe's 11 matches this season have been decided by a goal. The Tribe is 4-4 in those matches with wins over DePaul (2-1), Old Dominion (1-0 OT), VCU (1-0), Marshall (2-1) and setbacks to Maryland (3-2), Virginia Tech (2-1), High Point (3-2 OT), and Towson (2-1). In the three matches that were decided by multiple goals the Green and Gold is 3-1.

Golden Goal
Sophomore Mackenzie Kober registered her first career golden goal in the 94th minute, lifting W&M to a 1-0 win over Hampton Roads rival Old Dominion. The Tribe is 1-1 so far this season in overtime matches.

First Half Furry
The Tribe has scored 14 of their 20 goals in the first half of matches this season. W&M has taken the lead first in all but two of its matches this season.

Pole Position
W&M was selected to win the CAA title by a vote of the league's 10 head coaches in the preseason poll. The Green and Gold, which won a share of last year's regular season crown and advanced to the CAA Championship match, received six of the possible nine first place votes and 76 points in the preseason poll. Defending CAA champion James Madison was picked just behind the Tribe with 73 points, while Hofstra was selected third with 69 points.

Connect Four
The Tribe had four players selected to the Preseason All-CAA teams. Senior Clara Logsdon and junior Rachel Moore each earned a spot on the All-CAA team, while juniors Elysse Branton and Sami Grasso picked up honorable mention honors.

Setting the Slate
W&M officially opened its 18-game schedule last week on the road at East Carolina, however, the Tribe will play 10 home games at Albert-Daly Field at Martin Family Stadium this fall. The home schedule includes a season-long five-game homestand from Sept. 15 to Oct. 2, which features High Point, Marshall, James Madison, Towson, and Elon. The 10 home games are the most since the 2010 season.

Familiar Faces
W&M returns six starters and 18 players from last year's team that went to the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament. It was the 25th time in 35 seasons that the Tribe qualified for the NCAA Tournament.

Instant Impact
The Tribe welcomes seven true freshmen, and a redshirt freshman to the roster for the 2016 campaign. Freshmen have had an instant impact with the Tribe, as W&M as had at least one All-Rookie team selection since the award's inception in 2004. Current Tribe players, senior Clara Logsdon, juniors Elysse Branton and Rachel Moore, and sophomore Mackenzie Kober were CAA All-Rookie selections earlier in their career.

Coming Home
Former All-CAA player Emory Camper returns to the Tribe as she begins her coaching career with the Green and Gold. She finished her W&M playing career with 31 goals, 12 assists, and 72 points.
