(October 9,\u00a02025) \u2013 Back home this Saturday, Mount St. Mary&#8217;s women&#8217;s soccer looks to pick up a victory by battling Iona at Waldron Family Stadium.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nMOUNT UPDATE<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nFacing perennial powerhouse Fairfield proved too much for the Mountaineers this past Wednesday, as they suffered a 4-0 defeat. The Mount enters Saturday&#8217;s match looking to end a lengthy scoring drought that dates to September 24, when <a href=\"https:\/\/mountathletics.com\/sports\/womens-soccer\/roster\/cassidy-nichols\/9451\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"9451\" target=\"_blank\">Cassidy Nichols<\/a> scored in the first half against Niagara. Nichols continues to lead the team offensively with 10 points.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nSCOUTING THE GAELS<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nIona enters Emmitsburg on a strong run, picking up wins over Saint Peter&#8217;s and Niagara, followed by a draw with Rider. With eight points in the standings, the Gaels sit four points outside of a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Tournament spot. Dolene Smith leads Iona with five goals, while a trio of goalkeepers has combined to notch 52 saves, 24 of them by Savannah Rogers.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nTHE ALL-TIME SERIES<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nIn five all-time meetings, the Mount holds a 1-2-2 record against Iona. Since joining the MAAC, the Mountaineers have gone winless against the Gaels, recording two losses and one draw.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nLOOKING AHEAD<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nMount St. Mary&#8217;s will travel to Buffalo for a midweek matchup against Canisius on Wednesday, October 15, with kickoff set for 3 p.m.<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; Story Links&#13; &#13; &#13; MOUNT ST.
