ODAC Women's Soccer Report: Week 1

Eight ODAC teams have started the season with unbeaten records to power the league's 12-6-6 (.625) combined record. Batten tops the list at 3-0-0, while Bridgewater, Lynchburg, and No. 7 Washington and Lee are all 2-0-0. Guilford is 1-0-0 with Randolph at 1-0-1. EMU and Roanoke have posted ties in each of their first two outings to cap the list of unbeaten programs through the first week of play.

  • ERINN LOCKARD | BRIDGEWATER | GOALKEEPER
    Lockard, a sophomore from Vienna, Va., was at her brick wall best in helping Bridgewater start the season at 2-0. After not featuring in the Eagles 6-1 win at Mary Baldwin University on opening day, Lockard returned to her normal post between the sticks on Saturday and helped the Eagles to a 1-0 win over No. 12 University of Mary Washington in a strong early-season ranked victory. Lockard faced 16 shots in total with eight on-goal. She turned back in each one to register the fifth clean sheet of her career.

  • ALAINA ALSTON | BATTEN | FORWARD
    Alston, a senior from New Castle, Del., was on the mark five times in helping Batten University kick off its first season with a new name with three victories. In a 9-0 win over Regent University on opening day, Alston scored three of the Marlins first four goals including the first two inside of six minutes gone. Her fourth goal came just after the clock moved to 20 minutes elapsed. On Friday, Alston again opened the Marlins account with a 39th minute goal on the way to a 2-0 victory over Chapman University. While she did not score, Alston was active with four shots in BATN's 2-0 triumph over Hardin-Simmons University on Sunday.

  • ALLIE GRECO
    Batten, junior, goalkeeper
    Greco did not allow a goal in 210:52 across three Batten victories, making five saves for a 1.000 save percentage. She helped Batten record three clean sheets during the week, including back-to-back 2-0 victories over Chapman and Hardin-Simmons.

    LAURA NARBY
    Bridgewater, senior, forward
    Narby scored four points on two goals, including the game-winning penalty kick in Bridgewater's 1-0 upset of No. 12 Mary Washington. Her two goals during the week moved her into 10th place in Bridgewater program history in career goals.

    EVALYN PAREDES
    EMU, first year, CM
    Paredes played 95 minutes across two matches, starting once, as EMU earned a pair of ties. While she did not record a point, she helped a defense that surrendered just one goal — on a penalty kick — over the two contests.

    KYLEE BERRY
    Guilford, senior, defense
    Berry scored two points on one goal, netting the game-winner in Guilford's 3-0 victory over Meredith. She also anchored a Quakers defense that allowed just eight total shots over 1.5 games before weekend play was shortened by suspensions.

    KEELI CRISCO
    Guilford, senior, defense
    Crisco registered two points on a pair of assists in Guilford's 3-0 victory over Meredith. Both assists came from corner kicks and set up the Quakers' first two goals, while also accounting for the first two NCAA points of her Guilford career.

    SAMMIE ROGSTAD
    Lynchburg, junior, defense/midfield
    Rogstad scored two points on one goal, delivering the game-winner in Lynchburg's 2-1 victory over Hope. Her decisive strike came off a set-piece free kick in the 83rd minute.

    JULIA SALO
    Lynchburg, sophomore, goalkeeper
    Salo played 135 minutes in goal across a pair of Lynchburg wins, making three saves while allowing one goal for a .750 save percentage. She made all three of her saves in a 2-1 victory over Hope before playing 45 scoreless minutes in a 4-0 win over Maryville.

    AMANDA RAMIREZ-RODRIGUEZ
    Randolph, senior, defense
    Ramirez-Rodriguez produced three points on a goal and an assist while playing all 180 minutes during Randolph's 1-0-1 week. She assisted the opening goal and later scored from a free kick in a 2-0 win over Pfeiffer, with the tally marking the third goal of her career.

    SHAILA ELAHI
    Randolph-Macon, freshman, defender
    Elahi made her collegiate debut and immediately became a fixture on Randolph-Macon's back line, playing 172 minutes across two matches. She did not record a point, but the freshman helped a young Yellow Jackets defense that had allowed just one second-half goal to that point in the season.

    NATALIE MOXEY
    Randolph-Macon, junior, forward
    Moxey totaled three points on a goal and an assist, with both contributions coming in Randolph-Macon's 2-2 draw with Salisbury. She helped the Yellow Jackets rally from behind in the second half and finished the week as the team's highest-scoring forward.

    LAUREN FISHER
    Roanoke, senior, forward
    Fisher scored all four of her points on two goals as Roanoke battled to a pair of 1-1 ties against Maryville and Hope. Both were late equalizers, including a goal with fewer than five minutes remaining against Maryville and another with under 15 minutes to play against Hope.

    GRACE SUCHY
    Roanoke, senior, goalkeeper
    Suchy played all 180 minutes as Roanoke earned a pair of 1-1 ties at the Roanoke Invitational, making five saves with a .714 save percentage. She recorded two stops against Maryville and three against Hope while conceding just one goal in each match.

    MEGAN ZIMMERMAN
    Washington and Lee, junior, midfielder
    Zimmerman led No. 7 Washington and Lee to two victories with eight points on four goals. She scored twice in a 7-0 win at Southern Virginia and added the Generals' first two goals — both inside the opening 20 minutes — in a 3-1 victory over William Smith.
