WILLIAMSBURG, Va.— The William & Mary women's soccer team will conclude its 2024 season on Sunday, traveling to Towson for a 1 p.m. The match will be broadcast on FloCollege.
TRIBE NOTES
Last Time Out
Hofstra used a pair of first half goals to grab a 2-0 win over the Tribe last Sunday at Martin Family Stadium. W&M held the Pride without a shot in the second half, and outshot Hofstra 16-5 for the game, but were unable find the back of the net. The loss for the Tribe eliminated them from CAA postseason contention.
National Honors for Costello
Tribe freshman
Peyton Costello checked in at No. 64 in the Top Drawer Soccer Top 100 Freshman Midseason List. The Stony Brook, N.Y. native has had quite the impact in her first season with seven points and three goals, good for third best on the Tribe. Two of Costello's three goals are of the game-winning variety for W&M. She was one of three CAA freshman selected to the Top 100 list.
Let it Rip
From the onset of the 2024 season W&M was not shy about taking cracks at goal. The Tribe has outshot their opponents in 12 of their 17 games this year. Overall, the Green and Gold holds a 233-153 advantage over opponents in shots.
Speaking of Letting it Rip
The catalyst in the Tribe's high shot numbers has been, without a doubt,
Ivey Crain. The junior currently leads the CAA in shots per game (4.12) and shots on goal per game (1.88). Crain, a preseason All-CAA selection, has 12 more shots than Luciana Setteducate (Stony Brook) who ranks second in the CAA in attempts. For reference 40 is enough for 10
th most shots in the conference, Crain has 70.
History With the Tigers
The Tribe and Tigers will meet for the 23
rd time on Sunday afternoon with Towson currently riding a four-game winning streak. The two sides met twice last year, including the CAA semifinals where Towson advanced 1-0 on their home turf. The last time W&M beat the Tigers on the road was Sept. 2018.
