BUIES CREEK, N.C. – After winning two out of three games last
week, Campbell looks to carry that momentum into the weekend as
they face a pair of conference opponents in Florida Gulf Coast and
Stetson. The Camels will
face FGCU on Thursday at 5 p.m. and will take on Stetson at 2 p.m.
on Saturday afternoon.
Campbell (2-4-2, 1-1-0) is coming off a great week after going 2-1
during the previous week.
The Camels began the week with a decisive 2-1 win over former A-Sun
member Gardner-Webb.
Campbell followed that victory up with a 1-0 win in the conference
opener against Lipscomb before dropping a tight 2-1 decision to
Belmont.
Goalkeeper Boomie Luck was awarded the A-Sun Defensive Player of
the Week award on Monday for her efforts last week. After making great two incredible
saves to preserve the win against Gardner-Webb, she pitched her
second shutout of the season against Lipscomb. Kaili Terry was also a top performer
last week as she registered a goal in all three games.
Florida Gulf Coast (5-2-2, 0-0-2) played to two 1-1 ties to open up
conference play last week.
The Eagles tied Kennesaw State before tying Mercer over the
weekend. FGCU has been on a
hot streak lately as they have only dropped one contest in the past
seven matches and that was against No. 8 Florida State.
Leading the offensive charge for the Eagles has been Lindsay Haw
who has accumulated four goals this season. Casey Lademann has also chipped in
three goals this season for FGCU. Goalkeeper Stephanie Powers leads the
defense as she has posted two shutouts in her seven starts this
year.
Stetson (3-5-2, 1-1-0) dropped their conference opener last week to
Mercer before defeating defending conference champion Kennesaw
State. After dropping four
of their first five games, the Hatters have only lost one out of
their past six games.
Tessa Gavilsky leads
the Hatters with five goals on the season while Heather Berg and
Emily Ware have each added two goals apiece. Spearheading the defensive effort is
goalie Andrea Garavaglia who has posted two shutouts this year and
made 52 saves.
