Delaware Rising Looks to Stay Perfect in Road Clash with Mansfield Liederkranz
The Delaware Rising women’s soccer team returns to action Sunday afternoon, traveling to Mansfield, Ohio, for a matchup against Mansfield Liederkranz.
Rising looks to continue its strong run of form as it sits tied atop the Northern Ohio Soccer League (NOSL) standings with a perfect 4-0-0 record. Delaware is tied with Susserfuss Ballverin and North FC for pole position at the top of the table and has a game in hand on both clubs.
Scoring has been evenly spread throughout the Rising squad, with five players registering two goals apiece to share the team lead.
Natalie Dye (Detroit Mercy), Avery Miller (Queens), Lindsey Castillo (IU Indy), Kasey Duke (Capital), and Lindsey Whitmore (Otterbein) pace Delaware in scoring.
Ella Fuller (Eastern Michigan) leads the team with three assists, while Dye, Ally Curtin (Otterbein), Haylee Prime (Missouri S&T), and Castillo have chipped in two each.
It has also been a strong season between the sticks for Delaware. The goalkeeping tandem of Sally Patton (Loyola Chicago) and Ella Schwertfager (Otterbein) has allowed just one goal through four games. Patton paces the Rising backstops with eight saves, while “Schwerty” has recorded five stops on the season.
