Delaware Rising welcomes Susserfuss to Delaware for battle of NOSL's best
It's a battle at the top of the table
The women of Delaware Rising look to make it three wins in a row as they welcome Susserfuss Ballverin to town Sunday afternoon. Rising returns to action on the heels of a 3-0 victory in Ashland last weekend against Panthers FC.
Coming into weekend play, Delaware sits atop of the table with six points and a +5 goal differential, with the Harlequins hot on their heels with three points and a +17 goal different, thanks to a 17-0 victory against expansion side Firelands United.
Last week, Rising got strong contributions from newcomer Haylee Prime (Missouri S&T) who linked up with the returning Lindsey Castillo (IU Indy) for the opening goal of the match. Avery Miller (Queens) added a second for Delaware, before Castillo put an emphatic punctuation mark to proceeding as she scored a bar down goal in the latter moments of the contest to deliver the victory.
Squad rotation
It’s pretty typical in summer soccer leagues for squads to experience rotation as the season progresses. Players are unavailable for selection, some are released from their college programs later than others, or players were waiting on graduating.
Rising welcomes some players in this week as Julia Hahn (Drexel), Julia Flanagan (Ohio Northern), Ashley Green (Wittenberg), and Rileigh Glassburn (Ohio Northern) all return to the ranks.
Delware will be without the services of Ally Curtin (Otterbein), Avery Curtin (Ohio Wesleyan), Emma Barnhart (Wittenberg), Avery Miller (Queens), Lindsey Castillo (IU Indy), or Ella Schwertfager (Otterbein) who are unavailable for selection this afternoon.
