Last Time Out
Columbia earned two thrilling victories last weekend. At Dartmouth last Friday, Ashley Kim netted the game-winning goal with 1:01 left in the match as the Lions earned a 2-1 come-from-behind victory at Chase Field. On Sunday vs. Hofstra,
Jacinta Solari Etcheberry converted a penalty stroke with 3:01 remaining to lift Columbia past the Pride, 3-2, on Alumni Day.
Spreading the Wealth
Columbia's 19 goals this season have come from the sticks of nine different players. Jacinta Solari Etcheberry leads the team with five goals, while Sophia Abate has three, Izzy Kaczor, Ashley Kim, Lizzie Adams, and Delfina Gonzalez Lobo have two, and Mckenzie Bloom, Maya Raphael, and Agustina Solari Etcheberry have all found the back of the cage once.
Houle Impresses
Goalkeeper Margot Houle won her first three career starts and has won two straight matches in the cage. The sophomore from Potomac, Maryland, has recorded 64 saves this season, which leads Ivy League goalkeepers. Houle's 7.1 saves per game also lead the conference and rank ninth in the country.
Houle earned her first career shutout in Sept. 5's season-opening upset win at No. 18 UAlbany.
