Bearcats arrive to hostile Wescott

While the SMU Mustangs women’s soccer team prepares for the arrival of the Cincinnati Bearcats, they’ll be hoping to get the same type of production they’ve been receiving lately from Kelsey Gorney, Shelby Redman and the rest of the offense Sunday at home.

The Bearcats have struggled out of the gate and coming into American Athletics play, holding a record of 5-7-0 overall and 1-1-0 in conference entering Thursday, they’ll hope to get things back
on track.

As for the Mustangs, they’ll be hoping their successful ways at home stay the same over the weekend and that their match against the Louisville Cardinals won’t wear them down too much.

Of the Mustangs six wins through Thursday, three of the game-winning goals have come courtesy of Gorney. The first year forward has been a stellar member of the team in her first campaign on the Hilltop, and has been a go-to player when the team obviously needed a contribution the most.

Her running mate, Redman, has been equally impressive through the first half of the season. The preseason all-conference player is close to tying her goal-mark of nine from a season ago, with her seven in 2013. She’ll have plenty of opportunities against Cincinnati, who’s given up 22 goals to opponents through its first 12 matches, including three penalties.

On the defensive side for SMU, only two goals have been scored against the team in the last four matches, showing the marked improvement of goalie Lauryn Bodden. The junior from Tampa, Fla. seems to have solidified her starting position and the
Mustangs will be all the better because of it.

With AAC play in full-swing now, it appears as though the Mustangs should keep up their early season success going forward into Sunday’s game against the Bearcats and beyond.
