HOBOKEN, N.J. (SEPTEMBER 18, 2015) – After falling to New York University in overtime Sunday, the Stevens Institute of Technology women's soccer team will be looking to bounce back in their Empire 8 Conference opener Saturday against Houghton College.
 
EXTRA, EXTRA
The Ducks split their two games in the Engineering Cup last weekend. On Saturday, they knocked off Vassar College 2-1 in double overtime, before dropping a 1-0 match to NYU Sunday.
 
GETTING AHEAD
With just 1:24 left in the second overtime, freshman Zisi Komar headed home a cross from senior Carly Bean to give Stevens the victory over Vassar.
 
THAT'S OFFENSIVE
After notching a pair of goals against Mount Saint Mary College last Wednesday and the game-winner Saturday, Komar became the first Duck this season to claim an E8 honor as she was named Offensive Player of the Week.
 
TWO AT THE TOP
Through five games, Komar and junior Raba Nassif are tops in the conference in several categories. Nassif is first in points (8) and game-winning goals (2) while the pair are part of a five-way tie in goals (3).
 
MILESTONE WATCH
Bean is two goals away from 10 career tallies, while Nassif is just four away 30. Nassif sits in a tie for seventh all-time with Heather Dean with 26 career goals. Additionally, sophomore goalkeeper Lindsey Mahnken needs 13 saves to reach the century mark.
