Adam Aucoin of the Daily Collegian has a feature on the women's soccer team focusing on the strong play of the team defensively over the last five games. 

Head coach Ed Matz says veteran leadership on the back line is key to the program's succes.

"It's always great to have two or three seniors on your backline at all times," he said. "They know the system better than anyone on this team and they can help guide our younger defenders to get better."
