Quotes from Kai Edwards
"Our next four matches are going to be very tough, three of them being on the road. We play two conference champions that were in the NCAA tournament a year ago as well as two other really good teams. CSUF has played two power five teams already and are a very well coached and organized program. It will take everything we have as a team to get the result we are wanting. NAU will have recently played a couple power five teams as well and they will be sharp and on point. Our team knows what it is going to take to compete in these two games and we are looking forward to the challenge."
Fullerton is coming off a tough stretch of games against some high quality opponents, currently sitting at a 0-3-1 record. Started the season with a 0-0 draw at home against Boston College but since have had three straight losses versus BYU, New Mexico, and New Mexico State all being on the road.
Laurie Ann Moise paces the team with two goals so far and six shots on goal.
Northern Arizona currently stands at a 1-2-1 record, with their win coming in the season opener, a 3-2 victory over UTEP. Most recently they suffered a 2-1 loss vs the University of Arizona and will play Oregon this week as well. Maddie Shafer leads the team in points, with three on the year and three other players have two points.
Thunderbirds
Skylar Cano leads the team in goals so far with two on the season and four total points, Sammie Sofonia is right behind her with a goal and an assist on the year. Whitney Gardner leads the team in shots on goal with six total.
