GREENVILLE, N.C. - The East Carolina women's soccer team will play the second match on its three-game road trip when it heads to Philadelphia, Pa., on Sunday, Oct. 11 to take on Temple in American Athletic Conference action. Opening kickoff is set for 1 p.m., at Ambler Soccer Field.
LAST TIME OUT
East Carolina (7-7-1, 2-3-0 AAC) suffered a tough 3-0 loss at 18th-ranked UConn on Thursday night in the second all-time meeting between the two programs. Senior goalkeeper Saundra Baron made four saves and Lana Spitler took two shots in the game, but ECU was held without a corner kick.
ALL-TIME VERSUS TEMPLE
The Pirates and Owls will meet for just the second time in history, after ECU claimed a 2-0 home victory in the first matchup in 2014. East Carolina defeated Temple, 2-0, for its first American Athletic Conference win. Lana Spitler scored in the eighth and 87th minutes in her first-career multi-goal performance.
SCOUTING THE OWLS
Temple (9-5, 1-3 AAC) defeated Cincinnati, 2-1, on Thursday afternoon for its first conference win of the season. The Bearcats entered the match with an unbeaten record in league play, but a pair of second half goals by the Owls were the difference. Temple is led by Kelly Farrell's conference-leading 11 goals and 24 points on the season, while Elana Falcone (5g, 4a) and Erin Lafferty (5g, 2a) are tied for the second-most goals on the team.
HEROICS & DRAMATICS
East Carolina has won three matches with less than a minute to play or later, including a pair of double overtime victories (Western Carolina & Charlotte) and on a goal with 31 seconds left in regulation (UCF). The Pirates also lost a match on a goal with 27 seconds to go (at SMU).
COUNTING DOWN
East Carolina women's soccer is just three victories shy of 200 in its history. Since the inception of the program in 1994, the Pirates have averaged greater than nine victories per season.
SEASON OF SHUTOUTS - THE SEQUEL?
ECU posted 11 shutouts in 2014, which tied the 2007 team for the most in a single season in school history, and the Pirates have seven in their first 15 games in 2015.
BARON'S BARREN NET
Redshirt senior goalkeeper has recorded seven shutouts in ECU's first 15 matches this season, putting her in a tie for the fourth most in a single season in program history. The Greensboro, N.C., native has blanked opponents in 12 in her last 22 starts dating back to 2014.
FREY FLUSHES UCF
Senior striker Kendall Frey entered the record books in dramatic fashion by scoring the game-winning goal with 31 seconds remaining in regulation to defeat UCF, 1-0, on Oct. 1. The goal was her 20th as a Pirate and moved her career point total to 48 - tied for the fifth most in program history.
HITE OUT OF NOWHERE
Junior defender Caitlin Hite scored her second-career goal at SMU on Sept. 27 - her first tally in exactly 50 games dating back to Sept. 2, 2013 in a 2-1 overtime win against Western Carolina - the fourth game of her collegiate career.
DOUBLE ORDER OF FREY
Kendall Frey scored both goals in ECU's 2-0 win at Houston on Sept. 24 - her second-career multi-goal game.
